Hard Decision for hard choices in life
Tuesday, February 5th, 2008
I remember the days when I had some difficult choices to made in life. Who had never got the task of of choosing? What is the most difficult is when you need to choose between two quite equivalent things.
Haven’t you ever got into that situation where you are invited at a party the same day of yet another party? What I used to do was trying to attend both. This was obviously not the best practice. The irony being that I used to preach people about not doing two activities simultaneously since you won’t be able to be fully involved in either. So it was time for me to practice what I was preaching.
The other day, I was talking to a friend and she told me how difficult it was to choose. But from my experience I know that even if you decided to choose only only you may still wonder if it was not the worst decision and what it would have been if…
Human being are rarely satisfied of what they have, always thinking that the grass is greener elsewhere. So what was the solution? she told me and at that particular instance an idea came as clear as crystal into my mind together with the phrase: It is only when you miss something that you know its true value.
So it came clear to me that the answer was underlying into this saying. In practice it only mean to decide none of the choices, and only at that moment you will be able to know what miss you more and which would have been better for you.
