Freedom From Choice

In ancient Rome
There was a Poem
About a Dog
Who found two Bones
He picked at One
He licked the Other
He went in Circles
He dropped Dead
--Devo, Freedom of Choice

I've never really believed in absolutes. I always thought that some middle road could be found, some mutually beneficial path. To be confronted by a truly binary situation not of my own making, when I thought I had managed to get through some really tough situations, is difficult. While not as cut and dried as the aforementioned canine; the consequence of my decision (not my indecision) leads me to empathize with the pup's choices.

While it is easy to "overthink" many decisions, some cannot be decided on instinct alone and should be researched and considered carefully. Unfortunately, this may lead to conclusions that run counter to the hearts desire. Add to this the healthy dose of arrogance required to make decisions in other peoples "best interests" and you can see the hound's dilemma thickening until he either bolts out into the traffic or takes the passive option and curls up with his back turned.

Freedom of Choice
is What you Got
Freedom from Choice
is What you Want
