decisions... decisions

We make decisions everyday - from the color of our underwear every morning, to how we spend our time during the day, to the thoughts we entertain late in the night. Some decisions are puny and sometimes even considered insignificant like what to say to the cute guy that's about to say 'Hi!" while others are earth-shaking and life-altering: What will I be? Who will I marry? Should i go bald or should i just dye my hair pink?

We are bombarded with choices every single day. We are presented with predetermined alternatives which we have to power or control over. Free will is a funny thing because there is a fence around it. Take for example the simple question, "How will i get to work?" There are a plethora of options:

a. walk/run
b. commute - taxi, jeep
c. fly
d. swim
e. crawl
f. others, please specify. (hehehe i can't think of any more)

Of course some of these options are just out of the question because we are limited by the capacities of being human and the social norms by which we operate. Well, sometimes we can work our way around/ under or over them...

But nevertheless, making a major decision will always have to literally tear your heart open for you to see what you would be capable of tolerating and what you are willing to lose... other than that, the problem left would be if you could just live with that decision.
