Of Two Minds


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?
