indecisiveness

i've said my piece on choice (nov 2005) but it strikes me again how difficult it is for anyone to make a decision confronted with a future that is necessarily uncertain by nature (it is logically impossible to know whether one has made the right choice until one actually makes it - and even then the wait is often interminable), an absence of assurance or approval from appropriate agencies (sometimes we are desperate enough to require such affirmation from any source, however irrelevant - 'does this dress make me look fat' - ad nauseum), and perhaps a hard-to-read or unwilling-to-use moral compass (shoulda woulda coulda).

it is inexorable that a choice must necessarily come from a self. that's what i suspect people either try most to avoid, or fail to find.
