136"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."
Life is abound with choices, except that you can not find.
Looking through the whole life, maybe birth is the only matter we cannot choose by ourselves: birthday, homeplace, parents, family background and so on. Thinking it over, you will find that the only opportunity outside of your choices' domain, however, is the result caused by your parents' choice.
When you just a baby, who cannot use words to express his or her need, seems like lacking of choices or unable to make a choice. But actually, his or her facial expressions or gestures help him or her choose delicious food and even influence parents' attitudes and behaviors. For example, smile babies generally obtain more care. And with growing up, you will encouter more and more moments to make choices.
Somebody claims that, in the real world, they are limited by the circumastance, so that, they have no choice but have to do something even dislike. For example, they state that they cannot choose primary schools for their children because the government prescribes that kids must go to the nearest school. But if they want to go to another school why not CHOOSE to live near it at first? To be continued, they may further argue that the house near the ideal school is too expensive for them or far away from the place they work at. In fact, choice is already happened: they have chose a low financial press and convenience for work. It is a fact that there is no such thing as a free lunch. In another word, any choice does cost, thus, once you choose one, you have been sure to abandon others. Hence, never say how absent choices are any more, but broad your vision to scan whether there is something, that you unwillingly discard, covering the alternative options you can choose.
Even if broading visions, there remains someone complaining of few, if any, choices in their lives. For example, they have to do one job because only this company give them an offer without any other options. Deep down, why they just obtain one offer, while someone others have many? The ability? The ability has a bit about the genes, in my opinion, but depend on what you have done after birth. So, it was a choice that between wasting time on unrelative things and the ones profit your abilities. Or, is the the opportunity? We all share a belief that opportunities are only for the prepared minds. So, it also was a choice. Hence, think about your potential, your future and your need as detailed and early as you can, in order to create more available options for your life. It is you that determine your circument with or without options to choose.
Life is like a box of chocolate. What kind of chocolate you favor and how you make it or buy it, will all result in which one you gonna get. Above all, the absence of choice is really a circumstance that is very, very rare, if you want. |
