Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Yeah, it's kinda like that.

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." -- Yoda

I got a text message from a good friend of mine yesterday afternoon. It essentially presented me with two choices she had to weigh against one-another. She was trying to pick between two guys, one who was fresh and new, and one who she knew loved her but was old and tired. My answer was almost instant, "Pick the option that moves your story forward."

She seemed to like that answer well enough, and thanked me, but I had to clarify what I meant because when I say this to somebody, I always feel like they don't really understand what I mean. It's not that I think my friends are stupid, I just don't think most people understand the way my brain works when it is trying to make decisions.
