Something to ponder about...................

Insight into Decision Making   A group of children were playing near two  railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track,  the rest on the operational track. The train is coming, and you are just beside  the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to  the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child  playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?     Let's take a pause to think what kind of  decision we could make....... Most people might choose to divert  the course of the train,  and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children  at the expense of only one child  was rational decision most people would make,  morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the  child choosing to play on the  disused track had in fact made the right decision to play  at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed  because of his ignorant friends who  chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and  especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the  interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are,  and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on  the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed,  no one would shed a tear for him. The great critic Leo Velski Julian who  told the story said he would not try to  change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing  on the operational track should have  known very well that track was still in use,  and that they should have run away if  they heard the train's sirens.. If the train was diverted, that lone child  would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use  probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track,  we could put the lives of all passengers  on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids  by sacrificing one child, you might  end up sacrificing hundreds of people  to save these few kids. While we are all aware that l ife is full of tough decisions  that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions  may not always be the right one. 'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'   Everybody makes mistakes;  that's why liquid papers and erasers sell well.

BOom! the last sentance made me laugh! haha x)

Decisions = FATE

• Husbands are responsible to maintain proper order and government in the family. (1 Timothy 3:4, 5, 12; Titus 1:6) The husband's primary obligation is to love his wife: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her... So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church..." (Ephesians 5:28, 29; cp. Colossians 3:19; 1 Peter 3:7)
• Wives are exhorted to respect and obey their husband: "Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord." (Colossians 3:18; cp. 1 Corinthians 11:3, 8, 9; Ephesians 5:22-24, 33; 1 Timothy 2:11, 12; Titus 2:3-5; 1 Peter 3:1, 2, 5, 6)

A woman who knows her husband loves her - having her best interests in mind - has no problem submitting to him.
