We all make decisions every single moment of our day. Are they all - right?
Have you ever been put in a situation where you had to make a decision that didn’t concern you, but somebody else?
And thinking about this I just remembered a movie – where the character job is to fire people in every franchise of the company. Crappy job, isn’t it?
Sometimes even our own decisions that we take for us may affect others in a way that we don’t want, making a person sad or angry. We play with words and actions. In a way you accept the decision you made because you are feeling better, maybe released and you just hoped the other person will deal happily with it.
It’s like a love story – when one decides to break up because he/ she is no longer feeling comfortable in that relationship. The other person may be broken heart after such a decision, but the one that did it – is actually in a better state than before.
But what happens when the situation has nothing to do with you and you just have to make a decision…
Like the parents that decide that their daughter will be a doctor and their son will be a lawyer. Don’t you think that at a certain age your child is able to make a decision?
But, leaving away these parental decisions – what if you really had to make a decision on someone’s life? Like a sick person or someone that is in coma. You actually decide on that person’s life.
Do we have the right to make such decisions? Are we taking the right ones?
We decide who is going to leave or die on a trial or who is going to jail, who is going to be fired, who is going to be operated …and maybe sometimes we make the right decisions. But what is left behind in our head is white or black or grey? What role plays the conscious when we make a decision?
Sometimes we don’t know if we made the right decision, sometimes we don’t know what we left behind, sometimes we don’ t even know we had a choice – but we still made a decision.
And then we ask ourselves all this multitude of questions – if we took the right path? It may be easier for us to identify the ups and downs of a situation, because we know how we think, but when our decision is affecting somebody else we play in the grey zone because we don’t wanna live with a guilty conscience and because we actually don’t know the actual impact, unless the other person is confessing. Or…like in that movie when a person actually committed suicide after she was fired.
Are you ok with having the authority to make such decisions?
Another hard decision…
