I know at times, there are some decisions that we would do that may be slightly against what we should do. I think in terms of decision making, there is no exact formula. One would go according to his personality, beliefs, thoughts and personal views in making this decision. It may sound silly for the others, idiot for some, senseless for the majority but the truth is, we all have our own reasons even if others would say that it is wrong.

Back in college, I remember asking 10 different people about their thoughts of child abortion. 5 of them said no to abortion, 3 said yes, and 2 said it depends. I expected them to have different opinion of course, but their reason in regards with their answer surprised me. They were contradicting with the others opinion but they all got their point. Before reading the answers to the class, he asked me to give a short details of  the 10 people I have interviewed. He then asked my classmates, who they think would give the most common and senseless answer. My classmates answered the 16 year old out of school bystander in the community. but in their surprise, his answer is this…” Ok lang kung di ko kaya, kasi kung wala akong ipapakain at lalaki lang syang tulad ko na kinakahiya ang sarili nya at magulang nya baka pasalamatan pa nya ko na pinalaglag ko sya.” (its ok, because if I can’t feed him, send him to good school and he will grow up like me feeling shameful for his self  and his parents, he may thank me for aborting him) As I finished reading the answers and reasons loudly in the class, my professor gave my classmates a chance to comment,on who they think answered it senselessly, no comments heard. But when he asked who they think is right, the buzzing sound of debate was heard all over the place.

So that’s it. We all have opinions, and these opinions may be in one way or another opposing others opinion. And just as we think that we are right, they are thinking otherwise. There is nothing we can do about it, we are facing the different sides of  the world and we are seeing it in different angles. Of course, we have a solid list of right and wrong but sometimes this right and wrong has a “but” in between and that makes it complicated.

I know some of you would not agree with me, but like what I’ve said, that is the way it has to be. So just the way I wanted my opinion to be respected, I might as well respect yours too because that’s the way it should be is when it’s the best thing to do.
