1. A situation that requires a choice between options that are or seem equally unfavorable or mutually exclusive.
2. Usage Problem A problem that seems to defy a satisfactory solution.
3. Logic An argument that presents two alternatives, each of which has the same consequence.
I have a dilemma. Should I answer every accusation and possibly injure further? Or, is silence golden to pave the path towards reconciliation and rebuilding of sharing, trust and love?
This time it is doubtful that either option is sure. Shall I stand down to let the argument end? Can I bear to suffer inwardly, and give up my chance to clear my name and state my intentions?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
