What if…?

or: Human curiosity

Everyone used to ask themselves that question. This is probably the most distinctive of the human questions. Thanks to it we can learn how to react:

“What if I put this bright thing in my mouth?”

“What if I told that girl, that she is fat?”

“What if I beat those two bastards, who bullied me at school?”

And answering these questions helps us to understand how to interact with people and objects. It helps us to learn to be responsible for our actions, starting from early childhood, because you will know, that this bright thing has a very bad taste, this girl gets really upset, because of your words, and those two fuckers will never bother you again. And you will understand, that beautiful doesn't mean good. Being honest and straight is not the same. And finally you will know that you should never let someone humiliate you. Of course, if you do not go to jail for manslaughter, then outcome will be little different, I guess.

And usually “What if ?” really helps us to get better, to know more, and makes us wanna know something new. But things can go wrong, this “lodestar” can lead you into the trap of your own doubts. You know, what I mean:

“What if I wasting my life?”

“What if I've made wrong decision?”

“What if I`ll never be able to tell her?”

In that case this helpful question turns into nightmare, and you are just doubting instead of living your life, making your mistakes and reaching your own goals. You become aloof and loose your self-confidence. Really horrible feeling, guys, isn't it?

But, once you understand, that there`s no such thing as right decision, that all steps should be considered only under the prism of your personal opinion, and that no one really knows what “right” means, uncertainty will disappear. Because the worst thing are not mistakes, but inaction. No one will live your life for you, so act.
