Random notes on things that piqued even a jaded fence sitter

As I go along with the years, one lesson that was hammered through my thick skull was, along the road that you'll travel, take a side - hopefully the right one. But hammering it though was only one of those things, the receptivity to the lesson is another.

Putting it in another way, anyone of us should take a side of the issue; whether it may be the correct or the wrong one, the gist of the thing is choose we must from among choices presented to us.

But not all of us do it, most follow the sway of expediency: we choose a side if it is urgent and important for us to do so at the cost of glossing over the inherent goodness or unacceptability of the choice. Worse, there are many of us who chose not to choose at all when the act of choosing not to choose is a valid way of action.

I'm afraid I belong to the latter. If the outcome of the choice is hazy or doesn't seen logical to my logic-challenged mind, I prefer to take the middle road and lend myself vulnerable to traffic from both sides.

May I pop this query to you then. Do you always take sides most of the time? What are the criteria that you use in defending your choice? Or just like poor me, it it's over my intellectual capacity, I opt most often to take the middle road, non-committal, fence sitter and jaded.
