To be or not to be. That’s a choice between two decisions. We often tend to think that decisions imply some sort of action. That’s not necessarily the case. You decide to get out of bed in the morning, but you also decide to stay in bed if you don’t get out of bed. You might say you don’t have the energy to get out of bed, but you still have the energy to decide you don’t have the energy to get out of bed.
So to perform some sort of action implies a decision, but to perform some sort of inaction also implies a decision. We usually think doing nothing is a consequence of an inability to make decisions, but it is not. We may be more or less capable of making good and sound decisions, but we’re making decisions all the time whether we like it or not. The absence of a decision is a decision. You decide to be indecisive. It always comes first.
At times we don’t want to involve ourselves; we don’t have any opinion about a matter or situation and as such we avoid making any decisions that may arise from the situation. So we don’t make a decision. So what we do is to decide not to make a decision. Simply.
A lot of us have a reluctance to make decisions, but in a way that is a decision as well; to postpone the decision I mean.
Some are slow in decision making, some are quick. I think the latter is the better, especially since I belong there.
I won’t elaborate more on this (Hurray!). But it’s something like this “poem”:
Whether the weather be good, or whether the weather be bad, we weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether we like it or not.
