Against My Better Judgment - John R Schroeder - April 1984

John R Schroeder

How often most of us have made decisions against our better judgment! Ironically, the most important decision in all history may have been made" ... against my better judgment." We know the situation. Others tell us plainly a particular course of action can come to no good. Our own experience - past trial and error - militates against it. Sound intuitive judgment tells us to say no. But we deeply love or feel otherwise obligated to the person desiring a yes answer. So we find ourselves saying yes, against our better judgment. Leaders of governments have fallen headlong into this tempting trap. Heads of giant corporations have made the same mistake. Parents have said yes when the collective child-rearing experience of past ages told them to say no. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
