What if?

   What if you're wrong? One can never be certain of an outcome, especially if the outcome is unseen. Then it just becomes alot of gesticulating, pontification and a sense of misplaced values. If you're right though, then I guess I'm screwed, because I will never see it from the same angle.

         None can be truly right, unless there is the question of wrong. Not enough self criticism and way too many judgements.

               I try, but the truth is a slippery slope, for only I can see it with my eyes. When one judges others, they rarely take into account their own transgressions.

            If you are absolutely right with this statement it stand to reason then you are abosolutly wrong ...
            
            And since I am abzolutely right it means that there are those who are absolutely right about everything...
            
            But ofcourse you would never know since to you none can be of such.

                  The middle which you call grey is a mixture of both right and wrong...
                  But it will never prevail for it will give in to one or the other.
                  To remain grey is to be absolutely wrong, for right alone is right and can never be wrong.

      I would much rather be wrong about any particular religion and would be happy to stand in judgment in front of any one of the Gods who exists and tell them straight out that I could never follow a religion in which its followers acted the way they did, spreading hatred and ill will towards others in their zealotry.

            Or the way the individual intends it. If I had something to protect, damn right I would kill to protect it or belittle those that did not see it my way. That's human nature for you, hate is easy, love takes time.

                  No, just being as direct as possible, the nice approach isn't working. The world has corrupted the mind and led people to believe words, as opposed to experience.

      Since you give no mention as to what it is you are referring to be it the price of Gas or the taste of an orange or whether God and religion really exist, it is hard to give an answer.

         It applies to any form of thought, for to you, you're absolutely right. I can argue that I'm right, but to you I might be absolutely wrong. It's all subjective to the thinker.

                           If one can live for now, then the past becomes murcky, a haze of nothing important. To cling to the past, brings the past ever forward into the present, though never staying in it's place. I can learn from the past, but I should never dwell there.

                                 Hopefully into an age where the past has no effect on the present. Neo nazis dwell on the nazis, christians dwell on christ, most of us dwell in our worst moments. A truth that cannot be denied.

   What if?  This question can cause a lot of paralysis if nothing ever gets done because we worry about "what if?"  Any decision is better than no decision at all.  Sometimes you just have to take the plunge.  Yes, there are consequences for every decision we make.  Hopefully, you are able to look down the road and expect what those consequences might be.  It is always good to be prepared for the consequences good or bad for everything we do.

      Generally, we'd like to think our decisions are absolutely right, 100% of the time. It turns out we're probably right about 30% or less.
