Our life encounters many people who face challenges that they are forced to face. The trials we have caused by decisions and how we deal with them. However, was there a way to avoid these challenges? Did any choice or decision cause the repercussions? As we live life we ​​don't see these choices as they are happening. At that moment we think we are making a decision that will help us in the long term, but what we think does not always turn out to be reality. People who make the decision to have a baby think about all the good that comes from the little human being. Kids are great, but they're not corners. They need food, diaper changes and simple comfort. When the baby arrives and starts crying, they realize that a baby is more difficult than they think. Our choices have consequences, and we can't make the consequences good or bad. They are what they are, but when the processes happen we can see instances that lead to the decision made. At some point in our lives, we will have to make another choice, the choice to help someone else in need. IF we help these people, one day we might get help when we need it. In, The Life you Save May Be Your Own, by Flannery O'Connor shows how three people, Mrs. Crater, Lucynell, and Mr. Shiftlet, make a decision creating the final image of what we see.
