Taking to account the unavailability of absolute certainty in some situations, indefinite reasoning can seem like a bit of a profound way to make decisions in life. Unfortunately, some things cannot be found out until they are put into action blindly.
As some facts are not always readily available at the time of decision making, sometimes it is more than necessary to take that terrifying step out on a ledge that leaves us baffled as to what the outcome might end up being.
BUT... past situations can scar, humiliate, and keep our guards up so tightly that doubt will devour our plans in nearly one bite. Its a done deal... you think to yourself, "I have done that many times before and failed." But as intellectual beings, there must be a point in time when we are required to stop and think about what went wrong in the past. Sometimes it is simply a mismatch of chemistry between people. Other times its our careless mistakes that put this "post traumatic stress" on us. And lastly, some people are merely not intelligent enough to realize where their mistakes have been made and they simply brush the entire situation to the side, never to be thought about again.
As easy as the last scenario may seem, it will get us no where in this life. In this day in age, we have to fight for what we want. Nothing comes free or easily. Brushing the situation to the side will do nothing more than bring us deeper more complicated problems.
So when using indefinite reasoning we should analyze the situation for WHAT IT IS based on the facts we know, not the feelings or emotions we feel about the scenario, and sometimes the facts are slim to none. It can be difficult for some people to grasp or believe in something that cannot be seen, touched, or proven with factual material. But it is the things we cannot see, touch, or hear that mean the most to us. That step out on a ledge can be tough, maybe even seem impossible, but it is key to moving forward in life.
