The Psychological Tendencies Of Discernment: Who Are You?
In life, some of the worst repercussions are suffering the consequences of decisions or actions we didn't take. When I was about 23 and working, I had this friend who was paying the loan his mother borrowed, he relentlessly worked hard and never enjoyed the dividends of his salary, his mom was out sick and he had to work to pay the money else, the creditor was going to take over their house and other properties too.
A debt is transferable when the bond is Familial
The funny thing was that the reason why this person's mother borrowed this money was that they wanted to send a distant cousin to the university, this was still not bad if you ask me, but the person who they sent to school became a truant, squandered all the money they gave him, dropped out and still didn't come out with any degree.
The truth is that the idea of a bond or family blinded my friend's mother from seeing they wanted to borrow money from someone who could have at one point in time shown truant-like tendencies. They believed sending him to school could have changed him, and while I don't doubt it would, I believe borrowing money to test whether he would change was too much of a gamble.
A gamble without depth is surely irrational
I believe we're all gamblers in life, but in the game of gambling, we have to understand that odds matter a lot. The reason why we must consider our odds is because there has to be some sort of believability to the things we're aiming to achieve, this means having more odds in our favor.
We don't have to be 100% sure that something will work, having a 60% probability for example creates a decent odd. Gambling on a 60% odd is decent, because who is to say we cannot be 40% lucky? On the other hand, imagine gambling on a 20% chance. I believe in miracles, I must say, my whole life, my existence is a miracle, but irrespective of that, I still deem myself to be a pragmatist, which means I'm more etched to the principle of logic.
The Luxury Of Making Mistakes Is A Gift
I had a very difficult childhood, so this taught me that I never had the luxury of making mistakes. While mistakes were like the learning process of my peers back then, mine came with plenteous repercussions. In reality, being able to discern is important in life, or else we might make the wrong calls based on deceptive perceptions.
Getting older streamlines our choices, it means the more we get older, our luxury of making mistakes reduces especially because aging comes with responsibilities and when we get to stages where we become responsible for others, it means our actions reverberate around these people and the direct impact can be felt on them. One of the instances where people fail to initiate their ability of discernment is when it comes to love and marriage.
It creates irredeemable snags As Divorce.
We live in a world where people are mostly allured to the things they can see and perceive. The tendency of some to be easily allured is why we fail to ask the right questions. When discerning, it's important to look at past events because they are the prerequisite we need for judging the premonitions on futuristic probabilities.
The things we perceive should be under scrutiny because when we scrutinize ourselves property, it'll possible for us to eliminate the sentiments in us especially when it comes to making life-changing decisions. We must understand that it's important for us not to either aggrandize or underestimate ourselves, we must know ourselves absolutely, properly weighing in on what and who we are so as not to misjudge what and who we are.
Some of the choices I've made in my life have revolved around what and who I am, my health issues and psychological needs
On the surface, these choices might not be logical to another person, but the reason why they wouldn't is that those choices are specifically synchronized to me, making them utterly useless and meaningless to another person.
This is because in the aspect of discernment, we're unique and this is because of the distinctiveness in our psychological DNA However, a lot of people have allowed the joy of befriending trends in their process of discerning, so many people no longer listen to their inner voices again, they're overwhelmed by fleeting things, forgetting that depth and longevity are very important aspects of sustainability.
The Consequences Of Not doing better
A lot of people underrate the need to discern properly and this is because they do not understand the consequences of living in a future that is mired by repulsive mistakes that are being made in the present.
In reality, no one is born with the perfect abilities to actually discern, we grow into it like a school, we undergo examination, tests, and challenges, and if we're conscious enough, we eventually grow. Take discernment very important, because our abilities or inability to do so, improves or degrades our future.

Your friend’s mom definitely took an uncalculated risk sending her relative to school with borrowed money. Anything could’ve happened(and it did). But I guess you could also say anything could’ve happened even if the money used wasn’t borrowed. But the difference would be that unlike for the loan, using your own money wouldn’t put your property as risk of becoming collateral. I’m glad they didn’t lose their house and property and I feel sorry for him for having to shoulder the payback responsibility.
I know right? The reality of the situation is that my friend had to work for probably two years to be able to pay that debt. It took away his opportunities to even amount to anything, made so many sacrifices and it almost ruined him. I think we have to check the odds in some many situations in life before making decisions. Some of our parents are guilty of this.
