                This story ‘Third thoughts’ was written by E.V Lucas, England (1868-1938) this story is related to the often human seems to be weak about. This story tries to show the human psychological phenomena, relating to the storm of dilemma one faces within himself or herself when he/she has to take a decision.

                The story starts as a narration of the story told to the writer by his friend. It continues as his friend use to buy decorative materials and picture but sell those at cheaper price. Once while going through old shops he saw a water-color drawing possibly he thought to be a real painting Turner. So, he bought it at ten shillings from the seller. However, he found a purchaser for the drawing at fifty pound because it was a real Turner. It was now an unusual and astonishing profit of forty nine pounds the to him. So he began to think to share his profit with that dealer as a gratitude for so good profit. So he separated half of the proceeds to dealer as thanks. But because of no stamps he did not post this And went to bed. Struggling with his dilemma he lowered his gift to ten and to five pound and to one pound a by the time he post the letter. While going to post the cheque he found a place to play bridge and stopped to play. He spent all his money and finally even spent that one pound thinking its impractical to share profit with a dealer.

                This story indeed portrays a good example about how a person can react when he is perplexed or has to decide certain things providing good moral that something we think ethical and morally true may be not always practical. Here in the figure some points are thinkable. Can there be a man who’s nature is to buy good at dearest cost and sell at cheap price as the friend of the narrator. If he really had sent those half of the proceeds that night would be.

So it often is unstable. Once even I was in a great dilemmas of joining a job offered. To me I was perplexed for a whole week weighing important of job for me. At one side, I started thinking to accept the job. But for the whole week I was puzzled either to join or not. So, many thought pondered. Sometime I thought to join but at last I decided not to.
