Decision.

When you lay your hands on fire, it burns; you learn not to touch it. When you bang your head on a wall, it hurts; you learn not to bang your head on a wall. When you ride your bicycle too fast and fall down, you get bruised; you learn to not drive too fast or at the very least to be cautious about speed.

Hello there, I am the Earthian.

Point is we, humans, have always learned our lessons from the conclusions that we come to based on the events that occur in our lives. We learn to be malleable and adaptable to situations based on our previous experiences of similar encounters of situations and we grow mentally. All of this is fine. But somewhere along the line, we have also learnt to become a tad too conclusion oriented. In fact, we always are in a hurry to come to conclusions and move on.
We meet someone new, we watch their actions, have a chat with them that barely even qualifies as a conversation, then immediately conclude something about them. Sometimes, most of the times, we don't even bother to have a conversation with them. We just go right ahead to the conclusion part based on what they wear, how they act and whom they portray themselves to be. We have established a need for us to form a conclusion no matter what. We have this urge to term people good or bad, beautiful or ugly, smart or stupid and so on. We have this irksome attitude that makes us form an opinion. 
Sometimes, it really isn't the conclusions or the decisions that we come to that matter. Sometimes, just being present in the moment, silently, observantly would do a lot more of good than coming to a conclusion about the moment that we are present in. It's not coming to the decision that the night sky has a million stars that is important. It's just gazing at them and being literally star-struck that is. Ponder.

Lots of love, peace.
