Postscripts and blind-spots

Life is a series of choices we make daily. And that the effect of these daily choices—small or big—might affect the entire outcome of our lives. A choice always has the possibility to destroy us, propel us forward, or make us stagnant. In the face of the many decisions we make in this multifaceted existence, it is seriously important to make the better ones—if not the right one.

Good decisions are a product of tested and guided perspectives of and about life. In order for us to make a wise decision, we would need to refer to many factors--such as the external and the internal--that operate in our lives. And since not everyone is gifted with the ability to naturally make the wisest decisions in an instant, we would be needing someone from the outside—a second or third person—to help us and guide us in our decision making. There will be times that we would be in need of someone to remind us of the things we might have overlooked. There are times when we would be in need of someone to correct us, rebuke us and get us to the right directions.

The thing is, people have blind spots. We don’t see everything in our lives. We are not omniscient; no matter how we try to control our lives or plan our futures or just try to be good with all that we do, there are things that we won’t process if we just rely on our own. Sometimes we need other people to help us process and negotiate the realities of life.
