Are you being pro con?

There are both pros and cons.

For the options available.

For any change.

For the decision.

Human nature tends to focus on the cons.

Thoughts dwell on the negatives.

Contemplating only of the downsides.

To the detriment of the pros.

It’s not all bad.

Don’t forget about the positives.

The pros are part of the outcome too.

“When these difficult Cases occur, they are difficult chiefly because while we have them under Consideration all the Reasons pro and con are not present to the Mind at the same time.” – Benjamin Franklin

(Excerpt from a letter to Joseph Priestley from Benjamin Franklin, 19 September 1772)
