In the series finale of “Game of Thrones” there’s a wise bit of dialogue:

A: Was it right? What I did?
B: What we did.
A: It doesn’t feel right.
B: Ask me again in ten years.

Some decisions play out immediately. Others, in a few years. Still others, in a generation.

When we’ve done our homework and we’ve chosen carefully, we can’t always judge a decision based on how we feel immediately afterwards. Some results take time to unfold.
