Life is full of choices. And ever so often, we land up at a decision fork..... and rarely, are the choices very obvious. I remember reading somewhere in MBA school about the concept of limited knowledge. A manager at any given point never has the universe of data to enable him to take the "perfectly right" decision. Thats pretty much true for everyone in life situations too. How then do we arrive on the "right decision" ?..... Just think about it - what is a "right decision" ? Like its said about the butterfly effect, a small change in starting conditions can result in wildly different endpoint conditions - but as humans, how should we know what the different end points could be ? I really don't think there can be a "right" decision. At a given point in time, using the mix of emotions, circumstances and all knowledge we have - we can only take our best shot. But having done that, there is only one way to make the decision - "right". And that is by passionately, obsessively and fanatically believing - that the path we have chosen is THE right path. Enough freedom fighters believing like this, bought us independence. A handful of scientists believing in this, put man on the moon. Ultimately, I think - every decision is really - a leap of faith, backed by an unquestioning mind.
What is it that really matters ?
To do interesting things or,
To do important things ?
Which path is it that is right ?
The one leading through the heart or,
The one lighted up by the mind ?
Whats the greater good to follow ?
Individual thought & wish or,
The collective wisdom of people around ?
Dare we turn left ?
Where we have been told to turn right ?
Or should we continue straight ahead instead ?
This or That ?
Which road to take ?
It really doesn't matter, I think,
Beyond the point of the fork in the road.
To take any of the roads - and then move on,
To believe, to be obsessed and lost to the world,
To back the faith with toil and love,
And to see just one road beyond the fork.
That I believe is the right way to go.
