It seems to me that everything that happens to us is a disconcerting mix of choice and contingency.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We make choices but are constantly foiled by happenstance.
Not what we experience, but how we perceive what we experience, determines our fate.
Everything is contingent, and there is also chaos.
We are people in circumstances who make choices that we think are right at the time.
We almost always have choices, and the better the choice, the more we will be in control of our lives.
It is such a complex matter we live within, it is impossible to track logic and decision making really, so therefore each choice can actually only be seen as coincidence.
I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.
The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.
Too often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations.
You decide the things that ultimately you do. You have choices in this world, and that's how I live.
