Ever wondered about the two way dichotomy…?? Well let me explain what I’m talking about... you know how you’re always struck between two options… it’s either this way or that... From multiple choice question exams that you write, to the decisions that you make in your life… it’s always 2 things that we are left with… Odd number this ‘2’… together called a pair… it often means 2 very very opposite things,some examples are right-left, up-down, yes-no, forward-backward, true-false, head-heart…. It’s quite often we find ourselves brooding over these options…and eventually (after a lot of brain churning and consultation from friends and family) we do come up with the an answer… right or wrong... we do come up. If things workout and its all well and fine.. you never go back and think about the option you left behind,but if at all things don’t go your way,you’re always left with that other option which could have been your solution and which could have changed the way your life is. I wonder , why is it that we are always left with 2 options…?? Why not 3?? Or 4?? No matter how many choices we have... we most definitely narrow it down to 2… But then again if we did have more options I guess we would be all the more confused and become paranoid, I guess. But on a more serious note, I guess these are the very choices that are the difference between the rich and the poor, the successful and the failure, love and hatred…
I guess the more important question remains… How do we know which is the way to pick?? Which is the way that’s right for us?? Who tells us this…?? Some say... it’s what we popularly call “the gut feeling”... Some even say it’s out karma that guides us into our way… But is there really a way to find out which option is going to take us where?? At this point some would point out at the mysterious art of astrology and the art of finding out one’s future… To all those who believe in it I’ve got a twister for you... If you knew you were going to do some thing wrong would you do that thing because you are bound by karma or further still could you prevent yourself from doing it… even though you know that’s what you would do in future..?? Too Complex??
Let’s leave this by saying that all we have in our hands really is to pick a choice and hope that everything works out for the best of all… like the famous saying “Everything happens for our own good”
