We all do things that we don’t actually want to do. Why? Sometimes it’s because we don’t feel strongly one way or another. Other times we may just be trying not to rock the boat. Then there are the times when someone we care about wants to do something…so we do it.

I want to focus on the times when we do things that we don’t want to do even though we feel strongly about not doing it. This can lead to frustration, disappointment and sometimes even tragedy. The most tragic circumstance is when a group of people make a terrible decision that NONE of them agree with. This is called the Abilene Paradox.
