Preview


Life is full of options - options sometimes with very obvious consequences and at other times when you look back, you wonder what if ..... Those are the decisions toughest to take - two paths each seemingly leading to happiness, each fulfilling our desires but with a different price to pay.

Nothing in life is free, the moment we add something , we are deleting something else from our lives. The price we pay for our decisions depends on how much worth we place on it. The price includes loss of potential opportunities, the time we invest and of course the possibility that the other option would have enhanced our life more. The action we take , the choices we make, all add up, all multiply to make us what we are.

It takes a courageous person to stand by the decisions taken, and a wise person to recognize that there are very few right or wrong decisions per se. We do take decisions according to the best available resources, the best of our knowledge, but  wouldn't it be wonderful if life was designed to give us at least a day's preview about what life would have been if we had chosen differently? You know a fast trailer about the consequences of our decisions, good or bad, but at least that way we would be able to live  many different lives in this one lifetime. 


Different options, different lives . If every drunk driver could have a peek into the future, if every youth could maybe visualize what his choice would result in, if every young couple could have a preview of what their life together would entail, maybe we would all be a little wiser.
