Making the right decisions is indeed one of the hardest things to do in this world.

Because sometimes we don't know if the outcome of a decision is right or good for
many. We prefer some things over others in general, but it can be difficult to choose
between two or more things, especially when their values are equal and our decisions
affect each other. Just like in the case study, wherein Faraz did not know if he would
continue to go abroad to pay off their debt, or stay in the Philippines so that his father
could be treated and be with him in the moments when his father was dying. It is difficult
to choose between the two dilemmas because both lives are at stake. The first is the
good life awaiting him in another country, and the second is his father's life. That is why
I understand why Faraz is having a hard time deciding.
Personally, I am also one of those people like Faraz who has experienced difficulty
in making a decision. One good example is choosing a course to take in college. Before
I stepped into college, I really wanted to take an accounting course since my dream is to
become a CPA and have my own accounting firm in the future. These are the dreams
that push me to take the accountancy course in college. But this is not what my mother
desired or imagined for me. Mama wants me to be a doctor in the future because this
was also her dream then. That's why it was so difficult for me to decide then. I don’t
know if I will follow what I want or what mama wants for me. In fact, I can quickly choose
what I want, but I love Mama so much, and I don't want her to be disappointed in me.
That's why it really wasn't that easy for me to choose the course to take. So, to make
the decision easier for me, I asked for help from others. I also seek advice from my
friends. We weighed the likely consequences of two things. One is when I choose what I
want, and the other is when I follow my mother. And then it turned out that the outcome
would be better when I followed my will. I realized that if I didn’t follow my heart’s desire,
I would be the one to suffer. Another thing that came to mind was something my
grandmother said: "Ikaw ang mag aaral at hindi ang iyong ina, so kung ano ang kurso
na gusto mo, yun ang kunin mo." So I decided to take an accountancy course, and now
I'm in my second year of college. I may be having a hard time now, but I don't regret it
because I know it's part of the process of achieving my dream. Mama, on the other
hand, was disappointed at first, but after a while she also supported me. Mama's love
for her only daughter prevailed, and that was me.
Making a decision is extremely difficult, especially when those affected are
equally important to you. As a result, we require the assistance of others in order to
assist us in making decisions. Just like what I did, I sought assistance in weighing the
implications of my decision. As a result, it became easier for me to make decisions. In
addition to this, to help make a good decision, we can also use or apply the 7 steps of
moral reasoning, which were proposed by Scott Rae. This one is really helpful,
especially for those who are having a hard time deciding on something.
