Choices

Life is often like a pool of water.


The effect your hand has on the water determines how the water ripples outward and how each ripple begets the next and then the next. Each occurrence in your life is reliant on, and often determined by, prior events which were equally reliant on preceding events. Whether you choose to slap the water violently and watch it spray up magnificently in the air, or just stick your little finger in it and swirl it about gently, determines the current of your existence.


But it is your hand that does it. You are responsible for the choices that you make and you are responsible for the effects that your choices have on the people in your life. Just as they are responsible for the ripple effect of their choices on your life.


Make your choice today and be ready to face all the consequences later on. We may be regret later on, but it's pointless. We can never rewind time back to the moment where we make our choice. The only thing we can do is to get things go on track, and even if it fails, we must accept it in open arms.


Now, I have a question.


What if one isn't even given a chance to make a choice? The path is set for her, and all she can do is to follow the path, to the other end which she doesn't know whether she can do it or not. There's only few more weeks for her to decide, but she's still in a dilemma.


P.S: It's just a silly thought of mine at 5 minute to 4 o'clock in the morning.
