The Flipping of a Coin

Ever had to make a decision in your life that you really didn't want to make? I'm sure we all have at some point in lives that made us uncomfortable about our beliefs. When you get right down to it, making decisions is what rules our lives and in the end it all comes down to flipping a coin. That's right, if the coin lands on heads then it might be a bad sign or good sign, it can go the otherway as well, if it lands on tales. So what was one of the hardest decisions you had to make that completely contradicted your beliefs?

I haven't made decisions that contradicted my beliefs. I would just rather suffer whatever consequences of those decisions that jeapordize who I am to appease someone or something else.

The hardest decision I did have to make, though, was telling a friend (well, now ex-friend), that I wasn't going to lie to her husband anymore about her extra marital activities or be the excuse she provided for them. I lost a friend because I wasn't going to do something that would cause me to lose respect for myself.

Decisions??

My acts are not about flipping coins. My acts are about making a break at what I am capable of doing, and what I stand for..? Otherwise flipping a coin act is of option..? But in reality flipping a real coin is about random luck. That is just controversial in general.... (!)

I'll give it another shot. There is nothing I do that contradicts my beliefs, therfore thoughts become my actions. And actions into consequences.. :)

Either decision, contradiction or justification, it's still my beliefs. I expect things to change, so I guess it's not a huge issue for me.

I used to believe in the power of the coin, like when I was in a shootout, I used it to decide if I was going to run away out the back or blast my way out, but before I could toss it, the cops were downstairs, so I just ran out the fire escape.
