This isn't just about donkeys but a reflection, mindset changes and perception check in life.
This topic I'm about to share has taught me the meaning of indecisive effort, not to be time conscious or wasting time on unnecessary things.
So, hello great minds and everyone reading through, I had some new ideas I needed to get more insight on or explore, which surprisingly turned out to be very vital and amazing, just like having a conversation with yourself daily and identify the thoughts that are not adding up in your mind. Truth be told, it is hard to reflect on those thoughts without deep meditation or research physically.
When I think about a thing and also make research on it, my understanding increases, my knowledge deepens and my comprehension becomes richer. I had believed that few minutes daily on this personal reflection can expose so much about reality even the complicated aspects of myself.
These topic like I earlier stated I called the donkey's paradox, let me break it down on the paradox, it is a counter intuitive outcome or self contradictory statement especially in the mind which then controls the reality so making or taking miscalculated risk.
These donkey's paradox was initially a concept I heard about on a meeting in my working place, and later also came across it on Facebook a popular influencer model mentioned it. So I started making research and I found it captivating along the way while yet researching more. This whole concept or paradox was just about a donkey that stood between two identical piles of hay measuring same distance apart but can't decide which pile of hay to eat first.
Still contemplating and making indecisive solution while hesitating it just remained at a spot facing uncomfortable starvation, don't just see this statement as an ordinary donkey decision making illustration, try relate it with our situation we may find ourselves and keep making indecisive solution. When no decision is made, no action is to be act on at all.
The connectivity of this paradox to realty, we may find many similar situations we might have encountered. I personally often find myself stuck between many task that are yet decided. I keep wondering, should I do it this way or thay way?
This occurs when I don't have deeper knowledge on a task or program I am facing. If it's two similar options that are made available, because I don't know much on it I keep contemplating while time runs by. The truth is it doesn't always end in total failure like this donkey's case, but I would find out I wasted a lot of time and resources when making decision.
Time indeed is a big loss when not utilize well enough. That feeling of lost in dilemma or lost between two options.
These paradox reflect bigger issues and situation in life, situation like indecision, procrastination, postponement just to mention a few. That spirit becomes a friend and partner poisoning the mind making it look like ", what if this option or decision lead to my doom"? I made sure I don't give room for fear or regret anymore.
I later found out that maybe the solution to this paradox situations is to always remember that there's nothing like exact or perfect equality on choices made in reality. The instinct and willpower should never be neglected most times it helps choosing automatically while yet initiating calculated risk when necessarily needed.
