PRETZELS

I’m gonna write this one in English as well. I just feel like writing in English, maybe it is because sometimes I feel embarrassed about writing this things in Spanish. Any way, here it goes…

Today is Yesterday’s future, and today is Tomorrow’s Past. But yesterday can be Tomorrow’s future as well. Today can be the result of unaccomplished wishes, of a doubtful past.

You may think that I am actually writing this based on a personal experience, and that could be true. Actually it’s pretty likely to be true, this kind of thinking usually comes before a decision has been made or perhaps, sometimes, on the opposite side, from a great indecisiveness. But if you give it a second though, this could also be the fruit of Random thoughts in a particularly inspired moment.

So, if you have been able to follow me in this “pretzel liked” logic, yesterday, today and tomorrow becomes relative. You can place yourself in a straight line, and choose a single point to be Today’s time, and following this reasoning, indecisiveness can persist in the future. But it may also come from yesterday, being today a continuation of yesterday's indecisiveness.

If I haven’t lost you already, let’s consider the following: been indecisive is the result of the lack of information, that unable us to be sure about a certain thing, causing both options (usually yes or no choices) to be likely, of course, with different degrees of probability, but still uncertain. It is here that we can use the previous idea on the last post, about Schrödinger's conjecture. The only way to assure what would happen is to actually make a decision. By making a decision we are opening the box, to check whether the cat is alive or not. But according to some theories, we are doing a lot more than checking the state of the cat, we become entangled with our decision, we are building our future. There’s no possible way to figure that out rather than choosing one or the other. In Schrödinger's paradox if you don’t open the box you will never get to know what has happened, but in our case is much worse. By not making a decision at all we are not only projecting our past in an endless line but bringing all the odds in favor of the ‘0’ Boolean option (meaning the negative or inactive decision, as 0 is false and 1 is true in Boolean Logic)
which will cause us to actually make an unconscious decision, decreasing the likeliness of success of the second option in a future time.

So what is what I want to say? There’s nothing worse than living a life that we did not choose, a life that has been built under the basis of hesitation and unconscious decisions. The only way is to place ourselves in Today’s moment and make it different from yesterday, and build our tomorrow.
