Freedom of Choice

[Jonquil]

"As human beings, we are endowed with freedom of choice, and we cannot shuffle off our responsibility upon the shoulders of God or nature. We must shoulder it ourselves. It is our responsibility."

Arnold Toynbee

 

Freedom of choice. Seems so simple, doesn't it? But how many of us really feel like we have complete freedom of choice in our lives? Probably not many.

 

However, I do think that freedom of choice comes with great responsibility. I mean, you have to be sure what you're doing is right, right? Otherwise you'll burn and crash. So I figure it's somewhat good that we lack a certain freedom of choice sometimes in our lives - it's kind of like an auto pilot that keeps us safe and sound for a little while.

 

Just a few thoughts. :)
