Decisions and Incisions

Let's evaluate: a decision is the selection between two possible actions, while a choice is the selection between two or more objects.  But the line blurs when the selection of an action may involve an object, a foreign object at that.  C.S. Lewis  said "Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts, but you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do."  There is a lot of truth in that when people are faced with two equally tough choices, they make a third choice, which is to do nothing.
