Day 287: Fence Sitting.


 I’m sure at one point or more in our lives we have come face to face with a difficult decision or conversation and didn’t want to sway either way.  Agreeing with one person and not the other tend to make things impossible, uncomfortable, and awkward feeling all around.   Subsequently we tend to play Switzerland, the neutral card, or, as we are more accustomed with it “Sitting on the Fence”.  Yes, it may be the easy way out but sometimes, that is best for all concerned.  On the other hand if we are all playing the fence sitting card, what decisions would ever be made, and should we not have an opinion?  Pretend you agree with everyone because you don’t want to rock the boat, and be liked by all.  I guess that is why love or hate them we have politicians and they can make the hard calls.  Then again we are very lucky to live in a country that has freedom of speech and thought, so next time you are faced with one of those situations, are you going to sit back, or use your voice?
