DRIFTING OR DRIVEN?

Drifting makes one think of a lazy summer afternoon on the banks of a slow-flowing river. A leaf floats by going nowhere.

There is a sense of purposeless motion.

Driven on the other hand speaks of earnestness, energy and emotion. There is steady progress towards a chosen destination.

Some are driven by others, like a herd of sheep.

Are we driven or drifting?

What decides the choice? Is there a choice?
