Just recently, while I was trying to park my car, I couldn't decide which lot to take as there were plenty of it empty. It took me quite a while to find that slot I thought I liked. So I reversed in and realised the lot was not conveniently near a lift lobby and so I drove out again to find a better lot.
At that point of time, it struck me to wonder what would happen if the empty lots available were all taken up. If this was really the scenario, I wouldn't be making choices or complaining about the parking lots but grab the only available one quickly for fear of losing it to someone else.
So the term 'beggars arent choosers' does make sense. When we need something badly, we just take what is given but when there is a choice, we sit and contemplate which is the better one.
We come across many choice-making situations daily and how often do we really make the correct choice. Do we really know which is the correct one? If choices were given, we would then make a choice, say 'Apple over Banana' and then moments later, we will wonder what if I had chosen banana instead. That's the bad thing about being able to choose. You would then hesitate and wonder which is better.
Right now I too am facing some dilemma of sorts, I don't know which path to tread and am not sure which decision would be the better one. Its like a gamble in the casino, black or red at the roulette table. Tough to predict but that's where the excitement lies. No venture no gain right?
