Making the right choice

Of all the things that are hard to predict, hard to rationalize, and hard to make are choices.

They say that the choices that we make change the very pattern of our lives, paving the way for another road in our lives.

Yet, for all the choices that we have made and the choices we are about to make, how are we to determine that which one is right?

My answer: the right choice is made when you have no feelings of remorse afterwards. It's as simple as that.

In a relationship point of view, wherein there are so many things to consider, with so many possibilities, how are to determine we are making the right choices? Take for example, you're in love with 2 girls and you're courting them both. I'm saying courting because if I were to say dating, it'd be a different matter and that would count as cheating and thus would be irrelevant to this topic so let's go back to the scenario. And now the time has come for you to choose only one, because you can only have one girlfriend. Choosing between the two people that you fell in love with is extremely difficult. Why; because your heart is literally torn in two. Both girls are making you happy, both of them are the ideal girls for you, different from each other in every way but all the more ideal to you. I know how hard it is because I've been there and done that.

Yet what are the things that will influence your decision? I could say a whole lot of things and that would make this article long and boring. All I am saying is, that one possible factor that will definitely influence your decision, is that you're choosing the girl who you love the most, therefore surrendering everything you have felt for the other and giving it all to the one you chose. Because like I said, every choice we make paves another road in our lives, branching out to new directions, new possibilities. But then again, everything has its consequence, everything has its risk. And the choice that you'll make definitely has them. What about the feeling of regret and remorse after making the choice? Does it matter? Of course it does, because like I said, we can never gauge if our decision is right. As long as we don't have any feelings of regret or remorse, then you've made the right choice.

"Why is it, when you're looking for that someone, you find no one, but, once you find it, a lot more choices start showing up? But, if you leave that first love, then, they all start drifting away? Is that love's way of testing your true feelings or to see if you're ready for love?" - Anonymous
