Quite recently I heard about a friend of mine being told that “There are no choices, that’s just not how it works” by her parents, when she had told them about something she had chosen to do.

In my opinion this is really not a good thing to tell your children, especially youths, as it often can be quite a hard time because often you haven’t quite figured the world and your look at it out yet.

However, that is not the only issue with that statement. The other is that essentially, the statement is wrong, or at least that’s what I think. To me, life is made up entirely of choices (if we disregard what I’ve previously written about not having a choice), and these choices is what makes up your everyday life. Actually it may not seem so to you, but this is because you’ve learnt to filter the choices that aren’t very important to you out since it would be too much work to revaluate your choice every time.

So, you can see it as follows: Life’s full of choices (and probabilities), and the only thing you have to do is to find the choices you don’t have, and make the decision you want to make (No-one should decide what you should do with your life).

And at last I’d like to say that as everything is subjective my friend’s parents’ statement may be true to them, but that is by no means a view you should impose on anyone else. And: Remember that the world is full of possibilities; you just have to find them.
