Of Choices and more

Sometimes having too many choices  is a terrible thing. Too much of something can and will be poison. I think when we can't make a  decision among different options, we tend not to take a decision at all. This is probably the worst decision.

There are some choices which do not have a clear cut black and white answer. It is almost always about making a choice and sticking to it. It is also about remembering the choices that we made and why we made those choices. Too often we take a decision and a couple of days later are thinking about the same problem again. I wonder why this happens and under what circumstances we make such unproductive decisions. One thing for sure is that these are the worst kinds of "decisions", ones you have to make multiple times. The only way I can get myself to make these "decisions" again is to think of the previous time spent as sunk cost, nothing I do will bring it back, so no use crying over spilt  milk.
