Many choices

Yet another post on choice.

When you have more choices, the harder is it to choose. Choice can seem so good but, sometimes it can be so evil, forcing you to choose from options all valuable. Yet you can only choose one and forgo the rest. How do we go about choosing in such a situation? What should we forgo? How to make the choice? Decision-making then becomes a pain, since the criteria for deciding must now be decided upon first even before the final decision is made.

Choice forces us to think, to re-examine what we value, to rank/prioritise what we value, since now, we can't have them all. Choice is a mean of self-understanding. Every time we make a choice, we understand that much more about ourselves.

Along the path of self-discovery, what must we forgo?
