Pointing out a trend

I realize that when I stop writing that its usually because I am at a crossroads or some point on a long highway when the car runs out of gas and you have to decide which way to start walking to the nearest gas station. If faith serves us well, we remember that to go backwards can be pointless because there might just be a cheap 7-11 closer at the next exit. But memory beseeches as we still travel backwards, because we know for certain of the cheap Shell station we saw 5 miles back. Yet its a lengthy road, only to walk back again and refuel the car to drive for not but a second and see that there was a pricey BP at the next exit instead. The question: why allow our memories to take away our faith when the best choice is to move forward, not back? It might have been a different choice, but sometimes different choices are better than similar ones. And sometimes those different choices cost us more, but they save time and tire us less. You get what you pay for, whether you pay with your time or your money. I prefer time.
