Making the right decision

"You're so fragile I know
Some things we cannot control
I am so selfish it shows
I just can't let go
Tell me three little lies
Everything is alright
It tears me all up inside"

THE LAST GOODNIGHT

Life is a delicate balancing act.  When faced with a hard decision, I consider all options, weighing the good and bad together in the hope that I make the right choice.  Sometimes, the correct choice stands out and there is little questioning involved.  Other times, it's a lot more complicated than that -- doing the right thing can really hurt, and doing the wrong thing can seem like a good choice at first.  But perhaps the most difficult, is when you make a decision, and then you begin to doubt that it was the right choice after all.

It's very easy for the lines to blur.  Emotion can easily cloud judgment, and when that happens, you might as well just show reason out the door.  Feelings have a way of taking over, and despite any good intentions of remaining level-headed, sometimes it's virtually impossible to make a decision without considering your feelings, no matter how much you may want to exclude them.  Maybe decisions ARE supposed to be made with not only logic and reason, but with emotion too. Maybe that's why it's so hard sometimes to decide what's best.  That makes sense to me.  Besides, I know that if all else fails, I can always trust my instincts.  Those are rarely wrong.
