Tearing It Off Like A Band-Aid

One of the most difficult things for people to believe is that an instantaneous pain is preferable to a long, drawn-out pain. The best example of the pain concept is tearing off a band-aid. People are terrified to pull one off because they know it will hurt tremendously.  It is "common sense" that peeling it off slowly should hurt less because it is a less violent motion. And yet, it is far more excruciating to try to peel it off a bit at a time because, even if the pain is duller, it lasts over a much longer period of time, which ultimately creates more pain.

I feel like a great deal of stories out there are about cowards. They are about people who are too afraid to make a decision with any confidence. They worry about what might be, what might happen, and they convince themselves that hesitation is the more prudent option. And invariably, their hesitation becomes their downfall. And, especially in Hollywood movies or children's cartoon shows, it is only by giving up their hesitation and acting impulsively do they right the wrongs they have created.

Explore this concept beyond its surface. Is it a universal law or is it only true some of the time? In either case, how can you stretch the concept? Are there gray areas that make it hard to figure out what's right? Can you find somebody who could argue the opposite of your opinion?
