Wow. I think we went straight on a tangent right away.
Maybe it was the religion connection in the article of the title.
I posted this becuase I thought that in these times, where politics is so overly partisan and with the ease and quickness that information spreads due to the technology that we have, people quickly forget that there is another side to a decision - the unchosen decision.
I am not talking about any specific situations. I just find that the way things are today any decision is very quickly determined to be the wrong decsion.
It is always much easier to say the the unchosen decision would have been the better course of action - so we do that.
Would the unchose decision, if it had been the one chosen, also have been determined to be the wrong course of action? I think so.
This is the dilema a decision maker (in any area of life) is faced with.
Maybe this is more of a philosophical thread, but I was intending to bring up the issue of how hard it really is to say that another decision (course of action) would have been better, yet we do this all the time.
