A or B
this or that
blessing or curse
it doesn't matter
the choice is yours
b.c.
I believe everything in life always boils down to choice. We are given several options to choose from and we must pick the one that will has the greatest benefit for the least amount of trouble, so to speak. That is the one thing we humans are blessed with that may differentiate us from other animals-the ability to look at the choices analytically and pick one. This gift comes with a curse because we don't always make the correct choices or should I say the 'best' choices. I put the word best in quotes because we may make choices to suit others, even though some people may argue that that is the best choice because we were being selfless. i reserve my judgment on the issue. But I digress...The problem with choice is that we will one day find yourself in a position where the choice is not that easy. Where this gift of ours truly becomes a curse, when whatever choice you make you seem to hurt someone somewhere.
I asked several of my friends this question and I am yet to get a conclusive or convincing answer, given the choice would you do something that you will live to regret or would you do something that you can never be forgiven for by someone important? Here is an example;imagine you are in a relationship then this person you have always had your eye on offers you one night of pleasure(the night could easily become a life time or just end at being a night). So what do you do then? Do you pass up the opportunity of a lifetime and live to regret not grabbing it or do you go ahead and do that person knowing very well if your significant other will never forgive you if they found out? This is one of those interactive blogs so I would really appreciate your input...I shall reserve my comments or opinions on the same lest I influence someone's thinking

I will concur; decisions are both blessings and curses. There is no such thing a good choice; there are only those with less non-desireable consequences.
The reservation to choose, however, makes life that much more interesting because given the exact set of circumstances, we would all choose quite differently. (and with surprising results)
