Fence (May 22)

There are many decisions that you will make in life where you have two really good options and it is hard to choose just one. One who takes their time to make a decision on something with two very distinct options may be called someone who is sitting on the fence prior to making the decision. The fence, as it is called, seems to be considered a bad place to be from the standpoint of those who are not sitting on the fence and they will use every bit of persuasion in order to get you off the fence. It seems like everyone in the world is one one side or the other except for that person who is sitting on the fence. But is the fence really a bad place to be? It seems that the person who sits on the fence on some issues is the person who wants to keep an open mind. This of course is not necessarily a good thing should you be a doctor in a life or death situation. However, if you are in a situation where there is less at risk then is seems perfectly alright to sit on the fence. Know that if you sit on the fence long enough you will fall off as one side of the fence may no longer be an option. It also seems that when one steps off a fence on a less critical issue they tend to put themselves into a box which they may have to work their way out of. This may not be true but because you are sitting on one particular side of the fence you are then always associated with that side of the fence. Be wise about how you use the fence in your life and be there at the right times for as long as seems prudent.
