To Be or Not to Be : The Problem of Making a Choice

Sometimes in our world we face what I'd like to call a problem of making a  choice. Maybe life has always been throwing stuff at us, and till a certain point we are able to choose what we want, but that does not always happen. When we can't choose what we want that's when we know that we are in an abyss as deep as the Mariana Trench. Yep, we find ourselves staring at the seabed, just confused. And everything around us seems to be working just fine, and people around us seem to be managing their lives just fine.

We have always been choosing, from the time we were babies. What food to like, what dress to wear, what people to hang out with, what movies to watch and what books to read. As we grow older, the choices get harder, and with each choice we make we have the ability to influence not only us, but also others around us. It's not always choosing between a good thing and a bad thing, its about deciding what we want and why we want what we want.
As they say, life is a bitch, often we want things that we know are bad for us, but then again, as I just said earlier, life is a bitch. It's like every choice we ever made helped in making us who we are today, right now, at this very moment. Easiest choices are those that generally hardly have any impact on our personality, but I think it's the harder ones that contribute to making us who we are.

Bad choices. All of us have made some at some point or the other. But it's the good choices that we made that we ought to be proud of. Imagine if Sachin chose to become a Doctor, or JK Rowling decided not to write and look for a stereotype job. As we grow older the choices we need to make become more and more complex. As I said in my earlier post, growing up comes with added responsibilities.

The choices we make have to made keeping in mind not only us, but also the ones we love. Our choices may sometimes hurt the ones we love the most, but that does not mean that the choice we made becomes a bad choice.I guess sometimes in life, we have to do, what we think is the best for us. There is a whole wide world around us, it's upto us to choose if we want to go out there and make something of ourselves.

So if you make a choice today, think it through before you actually make it. You should not regret the choice you make today, when you are 80, with 9 teeth and a bald head. Why am I being all philosophical? Well I am 21, and I am almost in my final year of Law School. The choices that I will be making in the next 6 months will probably have the power to shape the next 40 years of my life. Am I scared? yes, I am petrified, but then again there is also that feeling of intense excitement which makes my back tingle, my heart skip a beat and makes me say, Life, BRING IT ON!

I promise I ll be more regular in updating my blog! Cya next time people. If this sounded like some psycho-babble nonsense, I promise my next post is going to be a funny one. :-)
