Decisions

As we humans live, breed, and grow we are faced with countless situations, many or all of which, the path to take becomes a war; a war where our emotions try to rule as Kings drawn by autocratic beliefs. What is right or wrong may seem relative to most due to the way the world has turned out now, but, fundamentally (and according to God's Word), right is RIGHT and wrong is WRONG! ...and, thus, as we are faced such wars on a daily basis we must bear this in mind during the decision-making process.

The perspective of each and every one of us certainly varies on probably everything in this world, however, it does not give accedence to any one person bending the "rules" for personal gain, be it consciously or unconsciously. If that be the case (which, sadly, it quickly is becoming) then all rights would be infringed upon greatly. It has always been of my firm belief that, "...just because you can do something does not mean you should.", which simply points to the fact that our whims of freedom to do what we want because we have the ability or desire to does not mean we should actually carry out those wants to the detriment of others, be it a stranger, family, friends, or (of most importance) a spouse.

Responsibility is a word toyed with quite often by us all. It seeks to give us a directive to achieve along with some rules to guide our completion of it, but, our stubborn desires prefer to be as a river - flowing where it would regardless of cause or effect. This can be as dangerous a situation as a flooding that destroys whole cities in a matter of moments. With such knowledge made readily available you would think that we would be humble enough to be willing to set aside our personal desires in order that the other person could have peace in their heart, but no, "I must have what I want..." tends to be our default resolve... *sigh* ...rather saddening!

Personally, in this quickly deteriorating world, my one motivation to be a person who makes the right decision with each arising situation (and, I'm not saying that I always do) is the thought of looking back on life and having a greater feeling of regret than pride. Such a feeling cripples my spirit even at just the simple thought of it.

The decisions we, so comfortably, decide to make in our lives, regardless of the effect (especially, those that border on dishonesty) are the very same we would have to live with in the near future, while looking into the sunken eyes of those we claim to love, especially, that one person we vowed, before God-and-man, to stay bonded to forever! ...Regret would be too late an emotion then.
