In fact that is what life is like:
事实上这就是生活:
We are often faced with the two opposing sides of a thing which are both desirable.
我们经常面临正反都可取的一件事,
Just like newspaper cutting,
就像剪报,
it often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another.
我们忙碌于这件事的时候,注意力却又被另一件事所吸引。
The former may be more important than the latter and can give rise to a divided mind.
可前者或许比后者更重要,我们举棋不定。
However, I remember a philosopher’s words:
然而,我仍然记得一位哲学家的话:“
"When one door closes, another one opens."
当一扇门关闭时,另一扇门会开启。”
So a casual or passive choice may not always be a bad one.
所以不经意或被动选择,或许并不是坏事。
