Big question 2.0
Well at first my big question was about life choices but as I kept doing more and more research it leads into hard choices and how to understand them. We all do them maybe not as often as other people for example it could be between a certain college, military, working, or place to live. For me it’s either deciding between my major Administration of Justice or military. I think that we misunderstood them and the role they play in our lives. Understanding hard choices can uncover a hidden power each of us have. What makes a choice hard is the way the alternatives relate in some ways the other is better in some ways, but neither is better than the other overall. In an easy choice one alternative is better than the other one.
Staying at home can be better in some ways and moving out can be better in other ways but none is better than the other over all. We shouldn’t think that all hard choices are big but realizing that small choices can also be hard. Why make big hard choices seem less intractable if we can figure out what to have for breakfast we can also figure out if we want to stay here for college or move someplace else. One way that can help you make this choice is get a piece of paper put a line in the middle and try your best to think of the reason for and against each alternative.
Making hard choices we would end up going with the safest one because we don’t want to take the least risky option even taking each alternative side by side with full information can still be hard. Hard choices are only hard because there is no best option. It seems a mistake to think here’s how you should decide between careers, places to live, people to marry just flip a coin. One alternative is better, worse, or equal just like real numbers.
Understanding life choices or (hard choices) is a way that uncovers something about ourselves we didn’t know each one in this room has the power to create reasons. This response is hard choices in rational response, but it’s not dictated by reasons given to us, rather its supported by reasons created by us when we create reasons for ourselves to become this kind of person, rather than that person. We might say we become the authors of our own lives, so when we face hard choices, we shouldn’t beat our heads against a wall, trying to figure out which alternative is better.
There is no best alternative you shouldn’t be looking for reasons out there, but inside you. What we do in hard choices is very much up to each of us. People who don’t exercise their normative powers in hard choices are drifters. Drifters allow the world to write the story of their lives. They let mechanisms of rewords and punishment. For example, pats on their head, fear, the easiness of an option to determine what they do. So, the lesson of hard choices is to reflect on what you can put your agency behind on what you can be and through hard choices, become that person. Hard choices are precious opportunities for us to celebrate. What is special about human condition is that the reasons that govern our choices as correct or incorrect. Sometimes, they run out and we find it here, in the space of hard choices, that we have the power to create reasons for ourselves to become the distinctive people that we are. That’s why hard choices are not a curse, but a blessing.
