It seems as if my brain works overtime and I’m sure a lot of people would testify to that. And it’s not just me. As I take a closer look in the lives of the people around me, mostly people who I network with on a daily basis I find them on the same plane. Confused.
Question- So why in the first place do we put ourselves in dilemmas?
Let us try to find out…
There are two sides to every coin and for me and most of the others the damn coin would never land flat. Life wants everyone to analyze both sides. And as if this wasn’t enough, you have to pick one of them. Still wonder why it’s not a cake walk?
Whether to choose family over career, this place over that one, this friend over that one, this gesture over that one, ego over surrender, self interest or sacrifice, relationship or single . No matter how much of a diplomat you are you cannot possibly work around such things or in simpler words you can’t afford to mess up here! You gotta pick one (ofcourse you can work around a bit with the relationship part). All of a sudden choosing a dress seems much simpler a task (I’m sure the female readership would gladly agree).
Talking about choices, most of them are self inflicted, in other words most of them are lousy screw ups. We complain when we don’t have a lot of them and complain if there are too many. Again two sides of the silly coin.
If something seems wrong, out of place or in pieces, the brain has a subliminal modus operandi of putting all those pieces together, surfacing an order and developing a perfectly logical and reasonable explanation to make everything fall Right In Place. That just makes it even more complex (in public interest- resisting the temptation to use a six letter adjective though absolutely apt for the description.) So you see anyone can make a good detective, it’s just a matter of channeling the brain in the right direction!
Those were the days when I had to choose between a Dairy Milk and a Mars. The later being the obvious choice. If you are looking for a comparison as to what level of choices I have to make now, well all I can tell you is that the lure and temptation of both in contrast to one another is too high ( keep guessing…) Damn! It’s tough!
The gist of everything being- why cant the damn coin land flat for once! First it spins you wasted and then gives you nothing. No highs, no results, no conclusions, no direction, no decisions.
And then the over worked intelligence asks the same question again…
Question- So why in the first place do we put ourselves in such dilemmas?
Ans- do let me know too, when and if you find out (-;

Witty, Intelligent and for once not confused...atleast you are not confused about whether you are confused or not? lol...good work!! after a long while...but yeah i loved it!!!
hmmmmmm....dilemma IS mind. and, mind IS dilemma.
mind can not remain on one thing. the whole game of mind is that it loves to swing between either/or | this/that | good/bad | now/then | pain/pleasure....
get rid of mind. live through pure conscience and you will see the oneness.
amen

You've been heard but definitely not understood...
Firsty, don't you think life will be utterly boring if you knew right from the start what you have to do?
Each dilemma brings along with it a myriad of choices. Yes, I have been through those dilemmas you talked about - choosing between career and family, country and distant lands, getting into relationship and later crying or enjoying life as single and never having to cry.
Well I have come to the conclusion that these choices are given to you for very simple reasons. They make you the person you want to be. They are the essence of life.
So when caught in a dilemma, just ask yourself if your choice would help you become the person you want to be.
And please keep writing..
keep writing...keep writing...rock on..
