how does one make a choice, knowing that he's going to be living out the repercussions of it for the rest of his life?

mother: "welcome to the adult world, where bad choices haunt you for life, and good choices last about a week."

i think i found the answer to the eternal query; what is life?
life is taking the best option available at the present time, and hoping it turns out well.
