Raymond's story is everyone's story.
Where would you be today had you made different choices yesterday? And by yesterday, I literally mean yesterday. You could even make "yesterday" the time it's taken you to read this far. Had you not done so, had you thought about most anything else, your life going forward would be different than it is now. Literally! Remember the scene in "Jurassic Park" where Jeff Goldblum talks about the Chaos theory? What happens halfway around the world when a butterfly flaps it wings in China. Probably a little overstated, but it made for good movie dialog, and should make you thinking about your own unlived lives a little easier. Those lives we would have lived had we made different choices in the past, are as interesting as they are infinite in number. Thinking about their possible existence, I could literally write a book about them.
