• Choices

  We are all faced with choices in life. Sometimes it’s about sacrifice, or doing the right thing.  Occasionally, we are lucky enough to be faced with choices that truly just rely on personal preference.  These are rare, and they are not always that easy to come by.  When I was at West Point, and had to choose my branch, the first thing that I did was put the ones that I could never get, which were medial and aviation, all the way at the bottom.  Looking back on that now, I would have probably put the ones that I really didn’t want (like finance) last and use teh ones that I couldn’t get as a buffer to put that down further.

  Now, imagine you are faced with 56 choices.  That’s a lot of choices, and it’s not as though you can just rank from 1 to 56.  Thta would be too easy.  I would explain more, but that would get too in depth for my liking.  Personally, I know what I think I want, but that seems to be based on really unsubstianted ideas.  However, I definitely know what I do not want.  Getting rid of what I didn’t want was very easy.  I feel bad for those people who don’t even care what they get.  The say that they will be happy no matter what.  I liken that to being given the choice between candy tasting and a punch in the face, and saying, “Eh.  I don’t care either way.  I’ll be happy with whatever i get.”

  Not me.  I don’t want the punch in the face. Unfortunately, the candy tasting may have some weird flavors that I may regret eating later.

  Black 6, out.
