All choices are irreversible =)

As I was on the way home today, I suddenly realized that all the choices we make are irreversible. Since we don't have the power of time travel, any choice we make is irreversible =)

We can choose between being kind and unkind.

We can choose to speak out or to feign ignorance.

We can choose to try very hard on that problem set or to just watch youtube.

We can choose to give a 5 min call to an old friend or just surf facebook.

We can choose to not leave any reserves in training or coast along with the average.

We can choose as our first reaction, anger or a smile.

We can choose to make someone's day special, or we can make it horrible.

We can choose to give snide comments or to give encouragement.

We can choose to listen first or to just start pointing fingers first.

We can choose to eat McDonalds or we can choose to eat something that makes us feel better.

We can choose to go for a slow jog or we can watch some TV.

We can choose to read a book or we can watch a chick flick/rom-com/dude movie(?).

We can choose to buy that awesome new must-have electronic toy or we can think about it.

We can choose to switch off our phones and internet while out with friends, or we can all check Facebook on our iPhones while we are sitting less than 1m from each other.

We can choose to be optimistic or pessimistic.

There are so many choices that we make unconsciously every moment of our lives, and we don't realize that they are all irreversible.
