Its amazing that how simple choices in life can actually chisel the future of a person. Making a choice of going to a college and what college, what car to buy, what place to live in and with whom, even a simple choice of going to friends party may be life-changing. Its as if at each and every stage of life, no matter how simple and obvious it may seem, we have to make a choice and probably life might take a different route after that. Its like a switch-case statement in C++ (and other programming languages) where there are different possible options and with each option there exists different case; the difference being in real life we are not aware what statements are going to be executed in a particular case apriori.
With this in mind a person might start analyzing each and every small thing before he/she does something. There would exist such immense pressure to make a right choice always. But then arises two questions:
1] What is meant by right choice; how do we come to a conclusion that this is a bettern option
then other? We might be aware of all the immediate facts but what about something which is
not visible? How do we take into account those factors? More interestingly one might ask "Does
there exists a right choice?
2] Is it worth? Wasting so much of effort and brains on trying to analyze and predict things in
advance and then basing the decision on it. How do we predict stuff anyways ? Its just so hard
to analyze things and make a choice and then prove it to be correct one.
And probably things are already written..who knows? Possibly the whole story and screenplay has already been decided by a director called 'fate' and it takes care that things happen at right time. So does it make any sense in trying to think through stuff so vigorously to a point where we try to figure out things which are not even written yet. While doing so who knows what are we missing on.? Mabbe we are missing all the enjoyment that could have been derived without knowing everything. Perhaps that is the reason that we cannot know what will happen in the future.
I would say keeping it simple is the best available option but the irony is that it is the most difficult part as far as humans are concerned. We just like to mix so many things and make it so complicated that it becomes just so difficult to disentangle different wires from them. As per me going with the moment,taking into account all the obvious things, enjoying the present to the fullest, without worrying what will happen next and not restricting OURSELVES (theres a reason behind it being capital) by self-imposed bindings is the way to go. And this is the most difficult task for me as well; on the bright side, however, I can at least identify the problem and what remains is to work on it.
