136"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."
Choice, choice, choice, just like a covey of flies droning around us every minutes to force us to kill them or disregard of their existence. And I don’t believe that you haven’t confronted this circumstance even if only once. Now please, tell me will fly be exterminated from our planet? So does the choice.
Almost everything, speaking broadly the decision making on your business, and narrowly which bus to take, in daily life needs to make a optation. “Would you like a cup of coffee or tea? ”, the most common saying when you go to your friend’s, for example. Then you must select one of them or a third one you prefer even you could choose nothing for some reason, but you have to make a choice.
If you devote yourself to be one just like who want to invent perpetual motion machine, you may say “ I will throw myself to a forlorn place, and no other people, no bus, no boss, even no bubbles, so in this case nothing force me or lure me to choose ”. But, one thing you must be clear that no choice is just a kind of choice.
Another possible and frequently occurred situation is that some one else makes a decision for you no matter how you prefer when you hesitate or in a swing position. For example, being fired is a result nobody would like to confront. One may choose to change employment but be fired, because it’s a totally different position to employee. But it’s right a selection boss makes for you not your original idea.
Please note that I don’t mean there is no exception that we needn’t to choose. For example, the moment one sleeping or the state one die. Undoubtedly, there is no choice under these conditions, but one must choose to sleep or die. Sounds a little horrifying, but it’s up to you that what is your dream when you are sleeping or which way to die. If you are falling in love, the probability of sweet dream will be greater. And if you disoblige a member of gangsterdom, maybe you will be murdered.
According to what I have discussed above, the circumstance that there is no choice is rather scarce. In short, we live in society full of choices. So, would you like a cup of coffee or tea? |
