I often find myself conflicted. I seem to have a strange ability to be able to see both sides of any decision and find the positive in either one. Another way to say this is that I seem to be able to see the negative in either one. This means that no matter what I choose, it’s always wrong. I suppose it’s always right as well but I like to look at world as being glass half-empty.
This constant “conflictedness” seems to be getting worse as I get older. I find myself sitting right at 50% on really big decisions. This means that the deciding factors can be really small. I sometimes sit and agonize over decisions finding that I really fall right in the middle on what I think the right thing to do is. I can see the benefits of both courses of action. I can also see the pitfalls, the pain, and the various negative repercussions of both. Is this a kind of wisdom, or a kind of wishy-washyness?
