Thoughts

Very often we must choose between what is right and what is easy. Very often, the easy choice is exactly what we want. The right choice may not be so attractive to us, but deep down we know it's right and it's what we need. But this is the problem we'll always face; we'll always have to ask ourselves the question "is this thing that I want worth sacrificing what's right?" We could hold onto and experience what we want for the short term but eventually lose it, that's the only thing that can happen. Or we could acknowledge that it's what we want, but what is right is more important.

A guy had a very good friend. She was one of the best friends he'd ever had. As he continued to talk to her ideas were introduced and thoughts came into his head. "This person is amazing. In all honesty, I know we would be perfect together." This is what would be easy. This is exactly what he wants. However, he considers these things; thinks them over. "Am I willing to go for this and to push on into the unkonwn?" he asks himself. Is it worth it? Days go by and he still thinks on these things.
The easy option; a short time with this person as his girlfriend. It's everything he wants but he knows it will end sooner or later.
The right option; a lifetime with this person as a friend.
Why the deliberation? It seems an easy choice now. A special place in his heart is now occupied by this person, if she were to leave it would be terrible. He asked himself, "Do I want to know what it's like to say 'she is no longer a part of my life'?"
No. He did not. The unknown is exciting. But, sometimes, you must keep away from it to hold on to something wonderful.

There comes a time in everyone's lives when they must decide between what is right and what is easy. The fool chooses what is easy.
