Bad Choices

Everyone makes bad choices once in a while. It's the bad choices that define a person because there can only be one good choice but you can mess up a situation in many ways. Just like multiple choice, there's only one right choice, but you can make the mistake in three different ways. Furthermore, there is usually only one way to get the correct answer but there is millions of ways you can answer the multiple choice wrong. For example, a question of x+1=2 and it asks for the value of x. One way to get the answer is by 2-1=x and we can conclude that x=2. This is pretty obvious but I forgot how do you prove it. You can get the wrong answer by 1+1+1+1=4 therefore x=4. Or you can get the wrong answer by doing x+2=1 so x=-1. However, life is not a simple calculation question. Every time you think, you are calculating that if false, do what, if true, do what, and it continues for sometimes thousands of steps. The wrong decision you make defines you because it is a unique way of a bad choice. The way you derive to the action also defines you because it's your unique way of solving a question. If the captain of the Titanic have listened and cared about the ice berg and not be so arrogant, there will be a whole lot less people that are dead after the event. This bad choice shows that the captain of the Titanic and the architect of the Titanic is very arrogant, careless, and does not care about the life of the passengers.
