Indecision is often worse than indigestion. Hasty decisions can be no better. Decide we must, when situations are in black and white. Why delay, when our conscience is clear on what the right thing to do is? We should put aside all dilly-dallying and just act. In grey areas, where we are not sure what is right, it is wise indeed to take time. Let us collect more data, see from different angles of view, consult experts and then, with the picture being clear, decide and act.
With much knowledge in our heads -- enough to advise the young and old --- we often make foul decisions in daily life. We choose to eat the wrong food, yielding to the promptings of our palate. We tell lies -- or hide the truth -- to please the people in front of us. We indulge in envy or self-gratification, knowing well the harm that such thoughts do. Why do we fail to decide -- to stop them instantly?
Is there a relation between compromise (with values) and indecisive frame of mind? Are a shallow living and a tendency to postpone (worthy decisions) connected?
Find out.
The man of firm decision is dear to me, who is cheerful always and has a natural control over his senses. He has offered his mind and intellect to me and loves me. -- Geeta 12:14
