Choose what you feed

In many ways this little poem describes succinctly the human nature or rather the battle that humans constantly fight. However, there are some thoughts about this verse that I would like us to explore carefully.

First, it is important to acknowledge the existence of two natures. In almost every situation there is more than one force crying out for attention. And more often than not, the forces are diametrically opposite. The forces do not impose a solution on us, they simply pummel us and sometimes destabilise us. However, the most important thing is that we choose which force to obey. When we choose the force that we cooperate with we also automatically choose our future results. It is always the one that we feed that will dominate and then carve our paths in life. What are the common vexatious choice situations that we face?
