The rightness of a decision is merely a function of time.
You will often come to regret doing the "right" thing, and learn to appreciate the benefits of acting "wrongly."

>> No.22108937

>>22108921
an alternative phrasing in that case:
"what's a book that'll tell me the thought process when taking a decision if I have multiple choices in front of me?"
like I genuinely want to know. How do I decide when each option has its own strength?

Bro u decide with a mixture of induction, deduction, intuition, experience, fear of God (witch translate to not have fear of anything)

>> No.22109045

>>22109038
>fear of God (witch translate to not have fear of anything)
That doesn't translate to not having fear of anything, that would make you a psychopath. Fear of God means just that, only having fear of God, and nothing else. The distinction between the two is like day and night.

there was this guy who said whether you do this or that doesnt matter, youd feel regret either way. soren kierkegaard, either or.
as for my personal opinion, follow your heart. there's this trick where you flip a coin to decide and before it lands you will know which side you want it to land on. the trick is to really follow through with whatever the coin tells you, otherwise it wont have any weight
