I know it means there are 2 ways to look at everything.But after you see both the ways how do you know which is the right way to look at it or to choose.Eg, i now have evaluated a situation and seen both possibilities they are evenly matched every pro has a con.How do you decide which is true and which is false the are both equally convicning and confusing.What would you choose to do?

When in doubt go with your gut. There's got to be a choice that feels better than the other one. That's the one you have to go with, don't think logically because you've obviously already done that, now just think about it and make a decision. It's always better if you make the decision yourself than it is to let time make the decision for you.

Quite the philosopher today aren't we! Again, a great question to which there is no easy answer. I told you on my other post that I married my husband because he never gave up, well now I must tell you that we were completely wrong for each other even though it lasted a long long time. This is the difficulty of life, you can make a list outlining either side of an important question but you just don't KNOW which way is the right one, And for good or bad I realise now that we are all in our own places of life because of each decision we have made before, all I think you can do is make what seems to be the right choice at the time, if it turns out to be wrong, we have to just keep going and keep trying..In earlier times people aked trusted friends or family for advice but that doesn't seem to happen nowadays. It is a fast paced world and younger and younger people are having to make difficult decisions, hopefully there is a Larger Picture to all this...

Depends on the situation!
But your real decision is to act or not to act, regardless of the pros and cons.
There are people who are all talk and no action.
Consider the difference between those who try and fail with those who never try.
For example, every single softball team I ever was on, we lost every single game. But at least I tried, as opposed to the girls who never, ever played softball in their lives.
I've been on more losing soccer teams than winning ones.
I really stink at golf (but it's a riot to play with me! My friends and I laugh the whole nine holes!) I'm really lousy at bowling. And I only win by default at pool.
But I recover faster from diseases and health problems than most people because I work out, eat right, and focus on staying healthy, as opposed to people who never work out, eat unhealthy, and never try.
I have a lot more fun losing at everything than those who never try.
In my lifetime, I have ridden in a hot-air balloon, sailed on a sailboat, skiied the mountains, driven a tractor, marched with the marching band in several parades, traveled around the US, surfed (well, boogie-boarded, I never did learn to stand on a surfboard...) the ocean waves, repaired and painted furniture, grew flowers and vegetables, sewed many quilts, read so many books, and was even an extra in a Hollywood movie or two, all because I was willing to try.
Heads or tails, it's just a piece of metal with a picture and words stamped on it.
I say act or don't act. Do, or don't do.

There are more than two sides.. that's just meant to be a way to get you to think about more than your own point of view... and many times there is more than one right answer... often times there are several gray answers... you just have to pick what you really want sometimes.

well there is a very simple principle."WHATEVER IS DIFFICULT IS ALWAYS RIGHT AND WHATEVER IS EASY IS ALWAYS WRONG".but as u said both r convincing and confusing i wud suggest that choose any of them coz they r alike. and the outcome of a problem depends more on ur stuggle n hardwork than the type of problems and situation ur facing.

When I have a tough decision,I make a list of the pro's and con's,the longer list wins out.
