Decisions

Decisions are never easy. The more choices we have, the harder it is for us to decide which path we are going to take. This is simply because there is no turning back in life. If there was a "rewind" button to life, we could just pick any choice we want and just rewind to the juncture where me made a decision that led to an undesirable outcome. But it is obvious life's not like that. So here's a dedication to Jerry, who has to make, what is possibly, in many people's eyes, the decision of his life. Cheers, mate. All's well, end's well.

If a man cannot choose, he ceases to be a man -
Anthony Burgess, "A Clockwork Orange"

Although every man believes that his decisions and resolutions involve the most multifarious factors, in reality they are a mere oscillation between flight and longing -
Herman Broch

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter." -
Lewis Carroll

When choosing between two evils, always choose the one you haven't tried yet -
Mae West

Decisions usually aren't between good and bad, they are between bad and worse, and it's often not clear which choice is worse -
Mark Stosberg

May all your decisions be swift and deadly -
Shihong :)

There is always more than one way to get to where we want to be. If we miss a turn, just take the next. See you at the top, buddy!
