It was not too long after that we discovered that sometimes it was imperative, that it was sometimes necessary, even fundamental to switch lanes. We had already carved out a path which we thought was the way, the only way, and the right way. The new knowledge that we could switch lanes, that life was all about lane-switching till we fell into the right, profitable, even if flighty lane that took us to the gleam of the top. The teachers themselves were switching lanes too, in a manner of speaking. Life is all about switching lanes.
