SAT essay the II: 7/18/08 but involves choices

It is in the nature of humanity to make choices that yield negative results, whether it be on purpose, or accidentally. These choices are often accompanied by regret, but at the same time, seemingly good choices can be equally disastrous. Bad choices and good choices are equally likely to have negative consequences.
First, the decision-making involved in the choices one makes are largely based on the circumstances surround the current situation. At the time, the choice may seem to be the right thing to do, but often the consequences are disregarded. In one foreign film, the hero isenticed into stealing. He was chary about doing such a thing, but decided fitting in was more important. Naturally, he later regretted his initial decision, but his mindset at the time had been concerned only with creating a desirable image.
Second, not all good choices will produce positive results. For example, in a foreign book about crime and punishment, the main chracter turns in a criminal and thus dooms his family to a life of fear. Though he had felt that testifying against a lawbreaker was the right hting to do, the consequences were negative. The perpetual state of despair that his family was doomed to remain in filled the man with regret.
Another classic example of the paradox that is decisions is in Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. Dorian's decision to sell his soul in return for eternal youth seems to be a good idea initially, but ultimately induces a plethora of pain and suffering. This kind of deciison is the most deadly one can make-- perhaps instinct is gifted with the highest of regards, but when it comes to making hcoices, one's instincts may also be the direct cause of one's downfall.
To conclude, neither "good" nor "bad" decisions exist. One may be more likely to produce negative results, but at the same time, what appeasr to be a good decision may turn out to be worse than the "bad" choice. The consequences can not be predicted, only cautiously anticipated.
