Decision

Living is an art of making decision. Life is full of choices and there would be no moment when we do not have to make decisions. Sometimes we make a right decision, sometimes we make a wrong one; although right or wrong is absolutely subjective. A killing could be rationalize as rightful, although it is wrong by consensus. Killing a very sick person may not have to be wronged. I always have this question since forever: If one person kills a person, does the killer deserve to be punished? Fate (or be it God) controls all the aspect in the world. Wouldn't it be that his death was fated, and the killer was only a means to achieve the death? Then he should never be punished. Then again, if he is never to be punished, the already blurred boundary will be blurer: What is a fate and what is a will?

We do have to make choices. The reason choices are there, probably because they are delivered by the fate itself. However, the decision will be ours to decide, and fate will again deliver another choices in the future. The choices are fated, but the decisions are ours. Nevertheless, I believe nature always tries to balance itself, and some choices might already be favored. To listen to what nature is saying, we will eventually choose a choice that cause a greater good. That choice will work with us, and however wrong it may appear, we will know eventually that we make the right choice.
