The Scale

The scale is what defines Librans and weighing down choices is what describes my life these days.



What is it about making choices that scares me?

Is it just me or are choices generally difficult to make?

Will I spend most of my life regretting what could have been? But choosing not to remember and feel guilty would also mean making a choice.

Why do we have to make choices? Why cant the world be straight and simple. Everybody would already know what to do, it would save so much more time.

I have a tendency to feel regret for the longest time ever and making decisions never comes naturally to me. Its making life more and more difficult cause how long can u survive without making essential decisions that define you, who you want to be? What your purpose is?

Does all of this stem from the fact that I cant stand to be wrong? Will all my wrong decisions come to haunt me?

Pessimism is attacking my brain again..

why do we have to make decisions???
simple. we live. a machine is to be programmed..we are free beings..and the freedom is what ultimately we desire for.
we may work for some time in restraints asserted by someone else...but then we will oppose them.

the human brain needs anarchy, confusion to survive upon...you may enjoy the wind while cruising the road..but then it grows monotonic...were we given a life to live it that ways?

decisions are hence to be made..
a faulty decision is not faulty till the time it is repeated again.....its a learning experience.

a wrong decision teaches us more than a right one!

and why should one regret his decision no matter it proved wrong? it was HIS decision.
But that does not mean making decisions in the air...a decision has to be based upon the inputs that you feel should be upon what you decide..

so the correct question is what should be those inputs?

and that will come only from experience of making decisions....

its like EDISON made faulty attempts to make the bulb 1000 times....
its only the 1001 time did he suceed.
but yes....he learnt from the 1000 tries....and he never repented them.

for once u can have the consolation that im right where u are..

i hate decisions as much as u do and when i make em i somehow manage to go against em in any case..so much trouble for nothing

choices always have to be made...and yes choosing to be passive is a choice..but as you guys tried to explain to me a few months ago that the biggest mistakes are made by not doing anything at all..ofcourse you can also choose to make the biggest mistake of your life..

but i know u dont...i know u want to happy and be free of regret..i also know that failure scares you more than it should..just like public humiliation, failure is also to be experienced...a lesson learnt in time..

dont u worry we will write our scripts in hindi, get photocopies and learn em...we will blurt em out trying to be stoic but manage to sound hysterically emotional..we will wait for responses and no matter what happens there will be something to regret and at the same time something to rejoice about..

and then it will happen again and again..c'est la vie !

Some decisions can get you stuck in the past, some can usher you into a new direction.Some choices may compliment each other, some may conflict. But whatever choices you make you should have no regrets...every universe collides with another at some point in time.
