I insult my humanity every time I use a cost-benefit analysis to compute the personal advantage of my actions.
How can I ever feel good about myself if my life is just a calculation?
I can only feel good about myself when my life is an expression…
… the authentic expression of my most deeply-held values… no matter the cost.
Easier said than done.
The truth always is… easier said than done.

There is but one path through life and that is the one taken. The fork in the road may seem to be an alternative, but that will forever remain unknown. GROG

Indeed. Your comment reminds me of a gem I picked up from a wise man named Angel somewhere along El Camino de Santiago: “No hay respuestas; solo elecciones.” (There are no answers, only choices.) Thanks, GROG.
