Find,
how do I find?
What to look for?
So, is there any way for me to stay
in a position of perpetual indecision?
Must I be outflanked by my responsibilities
and find myself in a situation where I must make a decision?

Now.
Now, can’t wait.
People gone who can never come again.
Decide faster.
Would it be too much to ask for a break?
Others don’t take breaks,
to their own detriment, yes,
but also to have more time,
time which you don’t have
so decide what you will.
What I will.
How can I better prepare for all of my decisions?

Learn,
learn information.
Spend all of my time learning information,
finding what I had not decided to look for,
deciding now to look for it,
because of my indecision,
deciding to look for a way
which will keep my decisions
as certain as possible.

True,
true information, but what of falsities?
Must I also decide what is true and what is false?
But may I simply be reinforcing my preconceptions
or really discovering an objective truth?
So many things for one person to do.
So many responsibilities,
more than what was originally established,
or so I gather.

Logic,
logic may assist me.
Logic must be true,
for therein lies truth's definition
within the context for people to learn of it.
Starting point.
And from there, all that can be understood is,
or is not.
Decisions can be made.
Information can be learned.
Truth can be discovered.
Methods can be established
which assist in everyone’s decision making
to degrees which they may not realize.

Pick a method:
scientific.
What does this cover?
What decisions does this help me make?
How broadly may its consequences be applied?
Will this keep me with objective reality
or will this separate us?
Choose a problem,
make a decision,
and see what happens.
All the work you may end up doing
is trying it all again.
A little differently, perhaps.
Perhaps this is what makes life romantic.
