Sometimes the choices in life you make are difficult. You are excited and nervous. It seems like a huge opportunity and you catapoult towards it. But what about the pain that the same may be causing to another person. Sometimes it is not your lack of strength, but your loved one's weakness that holds you back. The choice makes one feel horrible, like you are a criminal and that cruelty is the only trait you possess. So, what do we do now?
Scenario 1
Pursue the path you chose. The path that is difficult and tedious. The path that no one but you is responsible for. The path that might lead you to glory or perdition. The path that is selfish and cold.
Scenario 2
Pursue the the other. The path that is easy and smooth. No hardships and no pain. The path that you are not responsible for. The path that might lead you to glory or perdition. The path that is sensitive and selfless. The path that is not yours.
The risk involved in both the scenarios is equal. Pain and suffering are considerably disproportionate for you, as well as your loved ones in both the scenarios. So, what would be your choice?
I chose Scenario 1. The difficulties, pain, suffering and all the risk. The responsibility that the choice is my own. It might seem stupid to do so. But the issue is not the pain and suffering but the regret. Responsibility that I can feel proud of or that can pull me down. What I make of it is my choice, but whatever it is, is my responsibility. I will have no one to blame for my failure or give credit for my success. And in such a case I will accept the failure too with pride. Because at least I tried. I didn't take the easy way out and just take credit if I succeed and blame other people for my failure. This is the reason for my pride, even if I fail.
Life presents before us hard and tricky choices, but it is on us, to not be tricked. Have faith and for once give it your all. If it is good enough, you succeed. If it is not you lose with pride, not to show anyone, but just being satisfied in your heart.
