A Brief, Rather Surly Update
If you don't tell people what you want, they'll pick for you what THEY want. Then you are completely at the mercy of other people, which will breed resentment. There's nothing saintly or gracious about letting other people run your life because you're afraid of making decisions or paralyzed by choice.

I love my Xangan friends, but this seems to be a re-occuring theme for many of us, myself most definitely included! Didn't want to post something longer at the moment...trust me, the alternative was how Paul's teachings on communion and marital sex share symbolism (talk about scary coincidence!).

Lol...Give that option to children. Its their grandmothers birthday and you ask them what they want to get her for her birthday. They'll choose what THEY want because come on. If I like the pink barbie, they'll for sure will want it also. :) Children are sweet

And sometimes when you do tell them, they'll pick for you what they want anyways.

As much trouble as I have making decisions, this is the thought that continues to remind me that I need to make decisions no matter how hard they are. Good thought!

I feel you...

u are completly right... I remember when I was younger I was always too quiet to even speak up on what me and my friends would do for a weekend.. and I would always get stuck doing stuff that I thought was completly stupid.. People have to learn to speak up for themselves or they will be doomed to failure.
