Decisions

First off, I know that the Cavs lost. The way they played against Orlando didn't warrant any other outcome. The only other outcome for me from that series is that I now hate Dwight Howard. I used to think that he was this monster, and couldn't be stopped, and always manned up. He's still a beast, but he is also a whiner and NEVER quits smiling even when there is no reason. Wipe that smirk off your face and be ready to get dominated by the Lake Show. End Cavs talk until draft day.

Today I was approached with a situation that I was not ready for. A close friend came to me to let me know that his world had been turned upside down. His girlfriend is pregnant, and it was obviously unplanned and unexpected. But was it? Realistically the only way that it can happen is if you make a previous decision to have sex in the first place. I am by no means saying that I am any better or more responsible than anyone else reading this or involved in the situation. But it did make me think about how it relates to every around us, and how no one wants to face the consequences of life's decisions, even if they were known before it ever occurred.

Not to get overly philosophical, but I really do think that this is a microcosm of what is wrong with society's (including myself) attitude towards life. All we care about is instant gratification. Everything immoral is done because there is an immediate benefit, but yet more often than not the negative side effects down the road make it an easy choice if they would have just been considered first. I know that I can't change society, but the one person who's opinion I should have an influence on is my own. So I am going to try to be more conscious of my actions and consider how they might hurt me down the road. Whether it is in my personal or professional life, I hope that doing so will make it easier for me when it is time to face whatever consequence may result from my choices.
