making choices

we need to make choices at some points of our life. some choices are easy to made, some are difficult. normally, human would always make choices after he/she lists out all the pros and cons. while some might just cast coin and let the fate decide for them. some might even elope and let the reality consume them, little by little. wise choices are difficult to make. sometimes, a person make a decision just to satisfy the people around him/her.

undeniably, human is selfish. we always strive for the best, hoping that our life can be better. in the process of achieving our ambitions, goals and targets, we indirectly hurt some people around us. aren't we selfish in a similar but different way? some people think that by doing what they have to do to achieve greatness in life, they are already successful in some way. they think they are contributing to the world but don't realise that they are just as selfish as they claim others to be.

yeah, life is not easy at all. people would always have little or some comments regarding the things you do. having the need to attain what you want in life and enduring how people view you as a decent human being is not easy at all.

sometimes, we just do things that make ourselves happy or at least try to live happily in the little world of our own. sadly, most of these sometimes would lead people to have some comments on how we live our life. it feels so tired trying to make yourself happy and at the same time, bring happiness to the people around you.

sometimes, the choices are not left for you to decide on your own. some people around you make you choose what is not your best option so that they might be happy. in this way, they are making themselves happy and not caring much about your feelings. aren't this being selfish in a similar but different way?

so, can i really choose what i prefer or what i think is the best for me when i'm making choices or i can only choose to satisfy the people around me?
