Life is based around controversy; constant decisions causing one to take a side, choose between two or more things, or state an opinion on a topic. A controversy is a disagreement between sides holding differing views. Some solutions are easier then others. They can quickly be decided based on common knowledge. For example, you walk into the store to buy a magazine but you forget your money in the car. Do you go back to the car to get your money or do you steal the magazine? Common sense says to go get your money out of the car and buy the magazine. But other controversies are not so simple. A girl goes to the doctor after being raped only to find out that she is pregnant. She cannot afford to keep the baby and does not want to be reminded of the terrible incident that occurred. Does she have the baby anyway or go through with an abortion?
Life sometimes throws us curveballs that we have to be ready to hit. Many times we will find ourselves wondering about controversial issues and generating either an opinion or decision based on that issue. Is our opinion right? Will most people agree with the decision we have made? That in itself is a controversy. Controversies will always be encountered; we just have to be smart about our decisions and stand firm to what we believe.
