I can’t decide if I really want to be more decisive or not. On the one hand, I’d be more likely to get what I want if I could just decide what it is I want. But on the other hand, not knowing what I want keeps all my options open. Maybe I won’t know what I want until I see it, but if I’m busy pursuing something else with single-minded determination, I’ll miss out on something better. On the other hand (how many hands do I have?) if I refuse to choose SOMETHING, I end up with nothing.
Nothing is usually something. It’s just something that people prefer not to acknowledge, hence nothing.
