Writer's Block: Significant Choices
Jun. 7th, 2009 05:04 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]That's easy. I would choose whoever hadn't made me choose.
You see, I don't respond well to ultimatums, and unless this is about the sort of comic book scenario where you must choose between your lady love and a bus full of schoolchildren, an ultimatum is where most people will see this.
It's them or me? It's him or us?
I don't respond to pressure. Persuade all you like, but the moment someone else tries to take control is the moment I kick them to the curb. I decided a long time ago that anybody who pushed me to an ultimatum would lose out by their own terms. So I guess my answer here depends strongly on which party knows me so poorly that they'd think to step in and begin forcing my choices.
