I have always been a pretty indecisive person, and it annoys me. Reading this has helped me: "In both Sino-Japanese and Latin, the word “decide” literally means to “cut off” (決斷・裁斷). The “de” is a prefix that indicates removal — out of, away from. The “cide” part is the “cut off”. It’s the same “cide” as in “homicide”, “infanticide”, “patricide”, and “West Cide”."

Decisions often involve loss, and, clearly, I have a lot of difficulty with loss. Of course, on one level there are more more and less significant decisions, but on another level, the plane is much more level, and every decision inherently entails loss. It just needs to be accepted. And knowing this somehow makes it a bit easier, because I have accepted that I will never escape loss. It will be a part of my life everyday. Live with it.
