Choices Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

SWOT analysis doesn’t always apply to any decision making
nor enumerating the advantages and disadvantages
There may be factors to be considered,
such as its impact to the economy, energy and ecosystem

There are choices which are not critical
Like whether to eat rice, bread, pizza or spaghetti
unless of course your health prohibits you on those food

or choices like what to drive
whether a coupe, sedan, SUV or any van
as long as it’s free from danger and from harm

There are some choices which are changeable
Such as planning for a vacation or
Choosing a course, or an occupation

Some choices are to be taken with consideration
Like choosing a friend or a companion
for they can affect what, where, and which to buy
and they can affect the money in your wallet.

There are choices which may not be changeable
Like getting married,
or getting a circumcision,


And some decisions which should be avoided
like euthanasia or doing an abortion
As life is more valuable than money, possession or fleeting reputation

Our brain is above our heart
so that we will prefer our reason than our emotion
in making life’s decision

Whichever direction you are going in life
always consider if it is in line with your life purpose
not that it pleases the other person.
nor it enthralls your present emotion.
