Decision Making, The Process and The Sequel

Decisions... Bah!

So many decisions in our life, just like the one poem by some Frost guy, a path diverge into two in the woods... Which one do you take?

Huah & JE


And it sure comes to one day when you look back at some point of your life, where you find yourself at the crossroads in a desolate yet hope-filled place, alone... Don't know where both path would lead you, 'cept for a badly constructed roadsign giving the slightest hint...

We made the choice, and moved on.. Can't be stuck at the crossroads forever in our life.


But somehow later in life, which might be now, later tonight, or tomorrow, next week, god knows when, we look back over our shoulders, and wonder, 'What if I had taken the other path? What would had happened? Where would I be now?' That Frost's poem really strikes me hard... But I think his is more towards choosing and wondering, instead of wondering the already made decision, like I do...

Something in life cannot be brought back, memories that will stay on forever, photos that reminds you of what you really were before you evolved into yourself today, and last but not least, good friends long gone, thousand of miles away... I was thinking, most decisions can be remade, nothing is 100% irreversible (as long as you don't do anything drastic) but of course there's a catch... Dire consequences... So?

Sometimes we lived in heaven for too long, and get bored of our daily built-in routine. Not to say that we lead miserable lives, but we had gotten used to our perfect, wonderful life until we got tired of it unconsciously... Then the decisions come back to haunt you... Should I repick my choices which I had already done years ago? Is it too late?

What would had happened if I try to reverse it?

Should I take the risks?

See, it's another decision to make again... Sigh!
