Just quickly, what do you choose?

Tag: In a dark wood, wandering... — cerebralmum @ 9:48 pm

Just because of some recent discussions I’ve had, I’m thinking about these things…

I choose truth over tact.

I choose independence over companionship.

I choose the hare over the tortoise.

I choose the mind over the body.

I choose ideas over people (whom, to be honest, I often understand - and dissect - as ideas).

I choose voice over silence.

I choose change over peace.

I choose comprehension over empathy.

I choose loss over anger.

I choose intent over action.

I choose loyalty over trust.

I choose the sky.

And winter.

Either path is both right and wrong.

I have never believed that you can have, or be, everything.

    I choose summer. You really make me think …. that’s a good thing.

    Likewise the ‘having it all’ theory, always seemed a bit thin to me.
    Best wishes

    I’m far too indecisive to attempt this, lol. But I have tagged you for a meme about more mundane matters … if you would like to do it. See my blog.

    Am I allowed to choose autumn?

    Glad you are still knocking about the place occasionally. :)

    I like this. It is very thought-provoking…and inspiring.

    Whatcha been up to? I’ve been pretty behind in bloggy land myself lately…for months, actually. Just getting around and trying to catch up. Hope all is well with you.

    I decided for a small baby and I will get it in August. I am very happy because I think that is the best decision in my life.

    I chose compassion over ignorance
    I chose health over wealth
    I chose solitude over sociability (but not always!)
    I chose coffee over tea
    I chose wilderness over the city
    I chose not to eat animals
