That sounds manageable!<br /><br />Bro: Thank you!<br /><br />Jules: You know, there is a lot to be said for enjoying the ride. I really don't think I do that enough; I am always worrying about potential outcomes.<br /><br />Alex: The greatest POSITIVE impact, right? :)<br /><br />Friko: Oh no, I am quite the ditherer, sometimes. Other times I am quite firm. Wow. Just that response seemed noncommittal! <br /><br />Lore: I am not sure how you would feel about the book, but go ahead and give it a try! You seem very brave!!<br /><br />Susan! Thank you so much for your kind comments! And as for my stylist, he certainly is a special kind of guy.<br /><br />Rubye: Thanks for your visit! No decision is not a decision, I agree. If you didn't like the movie, you may not like the book. They are similar, but I think the book (as is often the case) is better because I feel the film doesn't address the deeper philosophical elements. Let me know what you think!Maggie Asfahani Hajjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250678324642063148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831415821473910792.post-42856975115253553812011-10-08T10:25:54.740-06:002011-10-08T10:25:54.740-06:00Some say no decision is a decision or choice. What...Some say no decision is a decision or choice. Whatever. I don't even know that I believe there is such a thing. Your thinking is refreshing here and completed with some great songs. I always feel I climb to the top of the precipice, jump and look around, and then climb back up again hoping for something better. Actually, I would settle for something different. <br /><br />I saw the film "Unbearable Lightness of Being" and didn't care for it, but now I will read the book. Don't know why I haven't before because I know a book is nothing like the film.

And now I look back and wonder if what seemed so logical at the time was really just illusion. Is this really what I am supposed to be? That question bites me every day, with every moment of success and failure. I don't think there is a correct path anymore, because that would assume that I have a clue where I'm going. For now I just have to find pleasure in the ride.julie feddersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621537183935460781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831415821473910792.post-38077440176694842192011-10-04T18:11:45.175-06:002011-10-04T18:11:45.175-06:00This is great!This is great!Come At Me Brohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471756942136977057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831415821473910792.post-31058990061956162082011-10-04T16:17:07.001-06:002011-10-04T16:17:07.001-06:00So, I have discovered, there are myriad paths and ...So, I have discovered, there are myriad paths and every path has branches, detours and dead ends. The beauty is, we can go back and try again. In most instances. All those choices make up our lives and each one becomes unique. I think so. I enjoyed your post. Very thought-provoking.

This is always a dilemma, try...HELLO SWEET MAGGIE!<br /><br />This is always a dilemma, trying to figure out which path to take. I am currently figuring that out at the moment, but I think that each one of us has an internal METER to gauge what is right for us. But FAITH is an important factor in the equation. Without practicing it, we will never know our potential....but then there is a time to go with what is exactly in front of you and be FAITHFUL to what you HAVE TO DO NOW. So that is my story at the moment!<br /><br />THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY POST!!!

Although I think I am A LOT older than you think I must be!!<br /><br />Loree: Several paths at once has been my preferred way, but sometimes those paths are so divergent it is difficult to stay focused...and yes to trying to find our paths, whatever they may be.

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" was once a best-selling novel in Japan and I read it about 10 years ago. I still remember how I was surprised to find that the novel began with Nietzsche. Don't you think Kundera's way of writing is very unique? I was really impressed with his choice of words and phrases. I also wonder what choice is...and what free will is....

What an elegantly written post this ...Hello Maggie:<br />What an elegantly written post this is on what, perhaps, is essential to the 'human condition', deciding upon which path to take in life.<br /><br />It has always seemed to us that the most life changing things in life have just arrived, some creeping up stealthily and others bursting onto the scene with a big bang. However, for us it is good we think to DECIDE since no decision is the worst of all evils in our view.<br /><br />The Beethoven was lovely!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1831415821473910792.post-7511300702370885052011-10-02T03:08:13.597-06:002011-10-02T03:08:13.597-06:00Wow.
