Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for. - Lawrence Block

没那么简单

有些东西,有些事,不是说喜欢就拿起,不喜欢就放下。
尤其当其中还牵连到另一个人。
人是有想法, 有感受的。

你以为这是酒店吗?要来就来, 说走就走。
这张帐单不是签个名就可以还清的。
留下的痕迹也不是刷一刷就不见了。

在你还不了解这个道理之前, 我想你还是呆在家里, 自己陪陪自己吧。
Don't inflict yourself on someone else just yet.


Taken from Wikipedia:

Tact is a form of interpersonal diplomacy. Tact is the ability to induce change or communicate hurtful information without offending through the use of consideration, compassion, kindness, and reason.

Haiya

Don't think so much. Why spend time so non-constructively? Just make the decision and then take the time to live the EXPERIENCE.

Yes, spend time experiencing the event and not thinking about which event to experience. You just run out of time to experience this way.

Dilemma

Why is it that while the world is seldom, if ever, presented to us in black and white, we are always having to frame our decisions in terms of "yes" and "no"?

Maybe, because if not we'll always be standing around trying to make up our minds as the world passes us by.

Is free will over-rated? Wasn't it fun when Mummy and Daddy made the decisions so that all we have to decide is whether to eat that plate of broccoli or throw it on the ground? Or whether have that plate of noodles for recess or to spend the 40 cents on a new pencil? Those were easy decisions because they were really quite inconsequential.

I would like to think that free will is a privilege that we should treasure. But when faced with the great unknown, I suddenly feel frightened of the choices I have. Because ultimately, I have to live with my decision. My yes/no decision.
