I Wonder...

In life, there are many decisions to make and in each decision, there are many choices to be selected. Each choice will lead to different outcome, and to put it crudely, life is like a role-playing game (RPG). Like in World of Warcraft (WoW - MMORPG), some of your actions will determine if your relationship with a particular clan will improve or worsen.

I realized, often in life, there are many instances of decision-making where there is no choices that will give you the best deal. Instead, you will end up in a dilemma. Ever had a problem where picking choice A will lead you to gaining something special but comes with a huge consequence should the coin be on the wrong side, whereas picking choice B will lead you to gaining nothing and losing abit of something, at the same time minimizing the damage resulting from a failed choice A. In this kind of situation, will you pick choice A or choice B?

Depending on individuals, selection will be made based on importance of the stuff you currently hold and the importance of stuff that you are trying to gain. For me, losing something very important is not an option. Although gaining something of equal importance is extremely tempting, but the mere thought of losing it sets me back a zillion squares. Do i let things remain as it is and wait for a miracle or do i take a random risk which might end me up in extreme agony like a gambling addict who went bankrupt? I will be more than glad to take a calculated risk, but how do anyone determine if the risk is calculated or not? How do we gauge the amount of risk in this ever-complicated world?

Integrity? I would say no.
