Is there is a name for the middle of the scales..would that be the place of not knowing..where we can step back and figure things out..i wonder if anyone's scales are truly balanced or if we're all a bit tipsy..jae
Waiting for foolproof direction before making a decision is the best way to drive yourself batty. We're all more or less acting on ignorance. Great words, I enjoyed reading them!
Sounds like a good reminder that not making a decision is making a decision to let someone or something else decide for us. We can never know all the answers. Sometimes we just have to move forward. It isn't always easy.
