Deciding is also starting

Prudence asks you to think, seek counsel, and consider consequences. But a moment comes when continuing to go in circles stops being prudence and becomes an escape. Often life becomes unblocked with a first simple act. It does not resolve everything, but it breaks the fog. Deciding well includes setting out when there is already enough light. It helps not to go to extremes. Neither living clenched and joyless, nor calling it freedom to always do whatever you feel like. Virtue takes another path: ordering desires so they help you live better, not so they rule over everything.
