a or b?

we'll never ever ever know if a decision made is right or wrong... guess we should just go with what feels right at that very moment.

somebody said that we would know... after some time, in hindsight, whether a decision is right or wrong... but would we really? for instance, when whether we should take up a particular job offer... after 6 months, we are stressed out, working like a dog, for an increase in salary that does not commensurate with the additional number of wrinkles acquired... then taking up the job offer was a wrong decision made. but what if you got fed up, quit your job, set up your own business and make millions subsequently?? then would it still be a mistake taking up that job offer?

we would only be able to know whether a decision was right or wrong if we can clone ourselves at every juncture where a decision is made and this is done until all the clones are dead... we see which clone is the happiest?!! and then there is the issue of measuring happiness. by amount of wealth acquired by each clone??

so.... no, we'll never know which was the right or wrong decision ever... so, just do it! make the decision, stick to it, make the best of it... and believe that it's the best decision made. and i guess it will be!
