Big Decisions

I’m not sure I have an explanation for this one, or that it needs one. Sometimes my mind just takes off and I just follow where it leads me. This is a case of my mind on overload, just wandering around aimlessly. There’s no certainty where it’s going or even where it’s been.

 

 
 
BIG DECISIONS
 
War or peace
Sink or swim
Buy or sell
Out or in?
 
Heaven or hell
Come or go
Up or down
Yes or no
 
Good or bad
Leave or stay
Right or wrong
Beg or pray
 
Life or death
Kill or die
Fight or talk
Surrender or try
 
Hide or run
Take or give
Shoot or be shot
Die or live
 
War or peace
Sink or swim
Buy or sell
Out or in?

This is a poem to make you think. Here are the choices; never mind the details.

There's just no way of telling which way your muse will lead you, Richard.....might as well just relax and go along for the ride! Life is so full of decisions...I loved the way you simplified the truth!

My mind does the same thing...Those are big decisions that we all think about. Right now I don't want to sink anymore so I made the decision to float until I get enough strength to swim to shore....Take care, Chessly

These are the questions we all either think about or voice out loud. Another thought provoking, interesting read, Dick. Joy L. Hale

Sometimes my mind just takes off,
and I just follow where it leads me.

I do the very same, and it's prompted me to take off in my old truck this weekend; God only knows where I'll end up!
