    What Causes You To Make The Decisions That You Make In Life?
    Good judgement, which came from experience, which came from bad judgement.

    Since I'm interested in psychology, and read a lot about personalities and the human mind- I do tend to analyze things and scrutinize things to death, almost to a fault ! Not only that , but I'm a Libra which makes us take forever to make a decision too ! So, I'm damned both ways ! But usually what affects my decisions in the end has to do with what I consider to be the just, right, good thing to do - after analyzing it for awhile ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    depends on the situation. If I am hurdling down the highway at 75 mph and someone cuts me off, I am pretty impulsive. However when given the time, I always take time to call all of the elders and ask them what the society would want me to do. Like, should I shake once or twice after I pee?

    That reminds me....I need to go take a watchtower & wipe my society!

    Thank you Gary!

    People seem to learn better from mistakes. Man needs order in his life to function and he gets that from learned knowledge and from the supernatural for what he doesn't understand. I also believe that on an instinctive level we make decisions, too. Fear and greed seem to go hand in hand in the decision process. Greed drove the subprime housing mess and now fear has taken over to cause it's collapse.

    I usually think things thru. The exception to this is when matters of the heart are involved, I have been quite impulsive.
