Everybody Wants to Change the World

This is in response to a post on "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Marie", a friend of mine's blog.

About choices.

I don't think there are wrong ones.

If you do it, some part of you knew, or felt it was right.

Even though society could say it would be wrong.

And it choices were right or wrong we'd never know because we can't put ourselves in the minds of others, whose choices oppose our own.

And it the consequences came barreling at us, I don't know if it would change a decision.

To me, it would not. If I was to make the choice, I'd make it regardless.

Letting the consequences swarm in so quickly would be similar to instant gratification.

And we've got to much of that in the world already. Why not just let it go and make the choice you need to make?

Why hesitate?

There are choices that, given I was in the situation, I'd do the "wrong" thing, just because I want to.

Because I'm selfish like that.

And I think we've all got a little bit of that in us, that reminds us that our choices are ours alone.

And we've got to decide where to go, when to stop, how to decide.

How to live.

And we don't have freewill for nothing, am I right?

So make those decisions.

Whether they're socially acceptable or not.

If you must take the opportunity,

Take it.

Thanks for the inspiration.
