Dilemma

Many times during our lifetime we are faced with unavoidable dilemmas where we have to choose to do the right thing even if it causes pain and distress to someone else.

I read in the dictionary that a dilemma is having to make a choice between two unpleasant things...I always thought it could also apply to having to make a choice between two good things. It's much easier to go on with your pleasant little life and ignore situations that require attention but sometimes you have to take a stand.

Often, for those of us who hate dissention, the dilemmas are mild enough to ignore with a clear conscience but when there's a possibility of imminent danger we need to act quickly and hope our decision won't cause havoc.

Have you ever wished you "didn't know"? That's because once you know you have to make a decision on what to do about it. There's also the wish that you'd known sooner. Talk about a dilemma!
