On decisions

Postby CantThinkOfAny » Thu Dec 08, 2011 10:51 am

On what basis do you make or have made decisions and choices?

When and for what reasons have you came to a conclusion that the status quo is worse than some other, possibly unknown state?

Where have you gotten the resources to act on that decision? Within or without you?

some where drug induced, some I just turned my brain off and went with it, others I have calculated every possible outcome. It depends on the situations for me. id say mostly within.

Depends on the situation. I usually get an instant impulse what I feel like doing, but ignore it and try to think things over until I´m completely confused.

I get an impulse, make a decision based on that and unfortunately I can't really change a decision I once made. It's done. I don't think about it anymore. I make it according to a feeling that I have and then it's set in stone, no matter what other people say or what logic says. Just don't care about that once I made the decision.

Pure instinct. I never think at all. I just do. got me in more trouble then comfortable.

And what if I don't have this instinct? And all I do is think and never do.

And I am certain it will cause me, in the end, more trouble than comfort.

At least you have had it all.

I have had nothing.

And as far as I can see, I never will.

Of course not.

There are two important events in a persons life: birth and death. And it is hard to miss those.

But the tiny amount of time between those two....

Well, maybe life is too complicated for a small scared creature like me. Better leave it to the experts, like you.
