I need to remember these words, you know, may be tattoo them in my brain or something..i need it and i need to remember this bad...choices, choices, what to do and how to do? is it worth it or am i making the "biggest" wrong move of my career. I don't know, but for the heck of it, i would like to try it once...Anyways, i'm in this classic conundrum of being at cross roads at this juncture of life and i'm left to decide on which road to take: the road of familiarity v/s the road of unknown...I know it sounds complicated, let me give an example...there is a parking lot and the shiny red car i wanted is on the right side and i do not know what is on the left side...should i take a turn and pick up the red car or should i walk to the left side, explore it and pick up what i get there? The danger of going left is that i will not be able to come back and pick up the red car...whereas the danger of going right is that i will never know what was the left side...got the analogy?
Of course, the title here suggests something else...whether i go left and end up vehicleless or if i go right and pick up the red car, i would be going to the same destination...and what destination is that? It is defined in a materialistic sense but defined more in the sense of spiritualism..So, if we decide to explore this angle, does it make sense to pick a direction where you feel more vulnerable? It means like, i don't seem to trust the almighty by going right since i'm driven by materialism and the thought of red car whereas by going left, i'm driven by spiritualism since i trust the divine providence and have decided to explore an angle where i'm not clear about the future and hence i'm not motivated by selfish desires...However, this raises a question on should i be not making decisions thinking of selfish interests? And if that is the angle to pursue, then can you be successful in this capitalistic world...Of course, thoughts of success should be annihilated as well since success in a materialistic world is not always guaranteed by entertaining high thoughts...may be satisfaction is guaranteed but not success...so, can you stay satisfied without being successful?
As you can see, i'm a confused person right now and i'm struggling to decide between the direction to go? Unknown or red car? In my life, i have ventured into the unknown quite a bit and thanks to almighty ended up being successful and satisfied..This time also, i might try that...let us pray to almighty that the road that we take is the one that not only makes u satisfied at a lower level but at a higher level as well.
Amen!
