Learn Who We Really Are, Live With That Decision

Today I want to write a blog entry about decision taking. In order to achieve my goal I must “consider what leads up to it, and what follows it, and undertake the action in the light of that” (29). In order to develop a good entry I must think about how decisions affect the path we emerge in our lives and how they can’t be changed once taken. Right now I’m taking a decision: I am opening my mind to you noble reader in order to transmit my understanding of these aspect I rely on in this moment. I must focus in order to lead this sentence from being a vague thought into being a leading idea to the next generation of words. But right now I must follow my decision. I believe that in any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. Honestly, the first choice sounds better to me.

All of these thought came through my head, more or less. Striving for something is meaningless, willing for it is not enough. I’ve really tried to make this entry the best one so far, but I can’t. The fate of this whole blog has already been written days, years, or even centuries ago: even before I thought of this idea. In life we must be one person, right now I am your humble blogger doubting about whether or not continue writing about decision making. But “just as a target is not set up to be missed, in the same way nothing bad by nature happens in the world” (27). When bad things happen we usually blame someone else due to our belief of selfishness and our lack of altruism. If it’s not God, then it’s our neighbor, our friend, our parents, or even you my avid reader. Now that my blog is futile, you can blame me for writing such a bad blog. But you will never blame yourselves for starting reading it.

By taking a decision you “must be one person, either good or bad” (29), you cannot pretend being both. Our fate destines us to be either good or bad. This entry’s fate, for example, destined the words I’m writing to be the most incomprehensive thoughts. I never considered what led me up to this. I never undertook the action in the light of that. I remember a couple of hours ago when I immersed myself into blog-writing. I took the wrong decision. I shouldn’t have ever started writing a blog about decision making. Quite honestly, it’s not my specialty. My own nature would never bare the fact of writing a blog about this topic. I have to take a decision there is no life in-between. I’m either good or bad. The hardest thing to learn in life is to decide which bridge to cross and which to burn. I took the one I had burned since the very first word I wrote.
