this is what happens when i cant decide something...i use the most traditional way to choose a path that would lead me to heaven knows where....i use a coin....on the basis that theres no reason to choose but still its compulsory to do so.
decisions are made, with or without reasons. and of course, theres the "why" and "why not", but lets not forget, that isnt the way to question everything....well, because the world does not need a reason to revolve.
there are things we do with a reason behind it. we walk forward because we dont have eyes behind our head, the water flows because of gravity, well, anything to do with common sense, or commonly lacking sense. these stuff can answer the "why/why not" questions.
but thats not the end of the story, because we have things that happen or exist without a reason...like us humans.
why do we write with our left/right hand?
why do we have left/right hand drives?
why does clock go clockwise?
why is this blog being read from left to right?
these kind of stuff does not need a reason to be that way, it just exist because some dude in the past said so, and the rest followed. so when something has no "why" behind it, certainly asking "why not" is just plain stupid because what difference would it make? though the idea of anti-clockwise watch is cool, thats just pointless isnt it?
so the "why not" must co-exist with they "why". one cannot exist separately because that would make the world spin the other way round if it did.
in this case, where i fail to see a logical reasoning behind the choice i must make, i need a coin, where its free from any prejudice, completely fair, with only the aid of my finger to flip it, gravity to pull it back down, and my hands to grab it. see, nothing wrong with it.
moral of the story : dont go asking why not this, why not that everywhere unless you have a reason to ask. to ask for the sake of asking is just another form of excessive boredom combined with kebodohan to annoy people. and always keep a coin by ur side.
