A friend said to me today, “when you don’t know what to do... that’s the time to do nothing”.
Growing up my mum used to say... “If you don’t know what to say... say nothing “... granted it was often after I may have said something silly, but there might be something in this 'do nothing' thing. Yet doing nothing, when all your senses urge you on, can be tough. It can leave you feeling exposed... like prey... Surely if you do nothing when action seemed required you’ll look like a fool no?.. weak no?.
Well I'm not sure yet. I'm undecided.
There are times when you’re required to think on your feet and act. When spontaneous reaction occurs it’s possible that it may the most honest reaction you may think, but not always. Yes in the case of danger, but no if your reaction is based purely on an egos response to a situation.
Sometime... thought is required.
If we feel we have been wronged in some way it feels natural to want to react. Yet by not reacting it can also prove to be the best thing as my friend said... to give it some thought... gain clarity on a situation first, as things are not always as they seem.
If they are... Time will reveal.
The worst decision that you can make is choosing not to make one. In this crazy world of ours, there is always a side and we should always pick one.
ReplyDeleteVery decisive Reggie.. politically very true. And when I give it further thought yes.. in life..there is always a side everything is a choice. .. even not making a decision is a decision... to do nothing.
ReplyDeletethe either or can be a tough one though
