Duel Week! Topic: Decision-Making

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day."

~E.B. White

"I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I have nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion."

~Jack Kerouac

I'm not sure where their vague tone of complaint is coming from, though...chasing stars until you drop seems like the Right Thing to Do, as far as I'm concerned.
