Making Decisions

by James Patrick G. Cabacungan

A decision is like a string that stretches from the time it was made to the time of reaping its effect.

Whether it was wrong or correct, nobody knows how far its influence will reach.

It is a string on which one would hang memories of celebrations if the decision was right, and discoveries of lessons if it was wrong.

Sadly, a wrong decision, if not being dealt with properly, may become a string that chokes one with regret and guilt, if one forgets to ask God for help.
