The Long Term

 

A Hazy Shade of Winter

Time, time, time,
See what's become of me
While I looked around
for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Don't look around
The leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter 

What seems like a good decision at the time, might not be so good in the long term.

The list of movies that did NOT get an Academy Award at the time of their release is most impressive.  https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/movies/2024/03/07/best-movies-that-never-won-an-oscar/72836637007/.  But in the long run they have become some of the most important and beloved of films. So it often goes. 

What seems like a good decision in the short term, is not always such a good decision in the long term.  Remember that on election day.  You are not just voting for the short term.  You are voting for the long term.  There are no do-overs or mulligans.  The old saying is  "Marry in haste, and repent at leisure".
