When Confusion Strikes

It is a part of our everyday life. As is said in a more technical language, that life is a much complicated decision problem. Why decisions matter? Since we are in pursuit of maximizing our own pay-offs, and a decision at each step or on each day can potentially change the course of our lives. But finally, life is a sample from a random distribution. One never knows what would life bring while choosing path A on a fine day compared to path B on the same day. All that we observe is a sample path which led to the present, and the path is chosen by recommendations from the people who are experienced. What is experience? It is the dumb habit of following what has been followed. Majority of the people hate to explore in their own life, to make new observations, rather be safe within the boundary of comfort. So, the result is the obvious, we don't advance even from one generation to another. Life is a mix of altruism and strategism. We are very much aware about who we are, and expect others to accept our limitations, but we are quite uncompromising about others' limitations. I guess, at this point it would have been nice if all relationships on earth had been professional, and no personal relations. I would hope that we would have done a lot of work without really being attached to it.
