Abstract
What we finally do is all what matters. Before deciding to
choose between a glass of Pepsi or a cup of tea, between
Kala Bagh dam and rental power projects all of us go
through a process of decision-making. Sometimes it is
simple, short and quick, sometimes complex, lengthy and
delayed. Sometimes we are mindful of it, both as an
individual and as a body; and sometimes we hardly know of
it. What are the over-riding clauses to take a final decision
before we act? The hypothesis of this study says that these
are the customs, traditions and our petty and immediate
interests. The contrary could be the rules, the principles,
logically concluded options, universal values or His
commandments. It could be an absolute or any set of
principles equally applicable to all parties and in similar
situations and at all times. It is intended to present a
comparison between the possibilities of unending growth
through free and open thinking guided by Him verses
perpetuation of slavery of customs and traditions. Some of
these are spread over centuries while some appear again
and again; only the form, names and places change.
