Another thought provoking question for this week...we grow up..and by growing up, we are at times required to make rational adult decisions...thats a big word.."rational adult decisions"...how do we know whether we are making "rational adult decisions"..the thing is we never know until we meet the consequence of our decision..if its all good..kudos you made the right decision..if you dont and your now in what i would refer to as "deep shit"..but then dont despair because thats "life"...you learn from it.
At times making "rational adult decisions" comes down to two question are we suppose to make a decision thats feels right or that we know is the smartest decision to do. An example is somethin that very common to most teenagers...after a relationship has ended, the question is either letting go or keep fighting for it..now being smart means knowing how to cut ur loss and leaving..but being right it means fighting on..now you may ask why?...being smart means knowing how to evaluate a situation and look at your own benefit at large, that means being able to outweigh the benefit on your side compared to its disadvantage...For those that have no clue of what i have been saying then congratulations you are still in the 'songs of innocence' while the rest that do understand sadly life has brought you to the 'songs of experience'.
What about making the right decision? hmmm..that means making a decison that is of your whole personal reflection of the situation and ultimately being swayed by emotions...A simple situation would be what yourt heart says and what your mind decides..in a nutshell making the smart decision is always what your brain decides while making the right decision is what your heart says...but i have to acknowledge making the right decision makes you more alive and gives you a "kick" to your existence..why? making the right decisions require on an average more action than inaction...the more thngs we do..especially those exceptionally different from what we do on an average day makes the day a little more "happenin"
Over the years i have always prefered to choose to make decisions based on what i feel is right but there have been its own repercussions...i have never enjoyed makin smart decisions as it always feel like im doin something wrong but its always ends up being the best decision..learning how to balance both this option will be difficult but never impossible. Deep thought while making any decision is a requirement but sometimes they are always signs to guide you..hei i do believe in signs....it seems ridiculous but sometimes...though rare..they is always a helping hand.... anyway got to get back to work (feel bad because like makan gaji buta)..hehe ....thx guys for reading..
