In life we are faced with many decisions. I've learned this week that those decisions can very widely. When confronted with two decisions, one of them bad and one of them good; it is easy for us to discern what option to take. That is not real life though. Our life is often a myriad of good decisions. A lot of the things we are presented with have varying benefits to our lives. Many times we settle for a quick burst of entertainment or joy. This was not a bad decision by us, it provided us with something. It entertained us, although for a short period. There may have been another option, an option that sacrificed our instant gratification but in turn provided a longer more sustained feeling of joy or happiness. All things have inherent value and a lot of them are positive. We just go through life collecting these things and often adding positive value to our lives.
A common example many people may face like the one suggested above is that of school vs work. do we begin a career right out of high school and start earning money immediately even though our earning could be limited? Or do we go to college, get a degree, delay our earnings but most likely have a higher potential of earning money. both options are positives in our lives but have unique values based on the individual.
