Our Choices 
          
The education we have received
Is sometimes far from adequate,
If we manipulate the wrong tools with it.
It is not always the "good" which brings us pleasure,
Or the "bad" which saddens us.
 
Feelings provoked by grief or melancholy,
Joy or pleasure,
Help us discover the true meaning of "good" and "bad".

It is difficult to decide wisely,
To recognize the good feelings
Or the real friends. 

Only the trial and error testing we undergo
Justifies our choices.
As a result of such testing
We make our best decisions.

All we need is a little something—
A wind, a storm, a tune, a landscape,
A certain ambiance,
A feeling of danger or of safety,
Or meeting a particular person –
In order for us to find the right path.

We can then make our own choice. 
The absence or presence of any sense of remorse,
As well as our clear conscience or indifference
Confirm to us that we made the right or the wrong decision.
