Choices...choices
Posted by MB Darrow on March 6th, 2007
Why are choices in life so hard? Why is it we must always decide between vanilla or strawberry, blond or brown, luxury or thrift. It is said that “Life is Not Fair” and when one is faced with a difficult choice, one thing is chosen the other is not. It seems very rarely can one have their cake and eat it too, so to speak.
Could it be that someone, somewhere designed the entire thing to see what choices we would make? And if this is all by design, is our outcome predetermined? I mentioned in an earlier blog the notion of fate and destiny. If one prescribes to that notion, are the choices, really ours?
As I chose not to drown myself in my own self imposed rhetorical mumbo-jumbo, I wonder one last thing… if one follows their heart, does the choice become less of what to pick than, what we want? Bah, I chose to forget all the things that cloud my thoughts and stick to the path the heart says is right..
And if it turns out to be a poor choice then…life is not fair.

We all know that wants and needs are different. I want chocolate ice cream wrapped in french toast deep-fried coated in powdered sugar and served with syrup (insert Homer Simpson drooling sound here), but I need a balanced diet with lean proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. While your heart may tell you that you want one thing, your mind may pull you in another direction because it’s not what you need. So, have your balanced diet every day and the occasional fried Twinkie! Your mind realizes that every now and then, you need to have what your heart wants in order to be fulfilled.
