Yesterday I wrote a quick note about two tough choices. Sell my bike and go to Brazil or not sell my bike and maybe go to Brazil. Argh. A very good reason to use the title I did from classical mythology.
That got me thinking, what about if you had to choose between two good things? Remember back to the 90's when you would be in Blockbuster holding a VHS tape in each hand and trying to decide which one to pick? Classic example of what I mean. (Though I think most of us ended up picking a 3rd movie to get a "buy two get one free" sort of promotion. So often you never had to make the decision.)
In my semi-lucid sleep state last night I decided to think of how many win-win types of choices I could and then pick what for me is the winner of both winners. As part of the mental exercise, since they are both winners and if you pick one, the other one is NEVER an option for you again, because you're picking a winner no matter what it shouldn't matter. Right?
WINNER VS WINNER
motorcycle vs car. The car wins. Though I do have a strong love for bikes, they are recreational for me. As I stated, if I can only have one, I'm gonna choose cars.
bacon vs sausage. Sausage. I'm not sure how I could argue my point on this one though.
shower vs bath. Shower. No contest in my book. Though I wonder if this would exclude me from hot tubs, the ocean, swimming pools and what not....??? Guess I would have to make it in the house specific rather than 'sprayed water' versus 'contained water'.
Rolling Stones vs Beatles. The Rolling Stones.
family vs friends. Family. Argh, I hate this choice. Good friends are priceless and develop in such a unique way from your familial relationships. Push come to shove and I have to grab one group or the other to escape in my rocket ship from the alien invasion I am gonna grab family.
surfing vs snowboarding. Snowboarding. I like that it is more repeatable and you can't drown. But I would miss the beach and it's attendant wonders badly.
video games vs movies vs tv. Movies win. I can still go out and still watch things at home. Movies for sure.
What do you think??
