We make choices but are constantly foiled by happenstance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 seems to me that everything that happens to us is a disconcerting mix of choice and contingency.
One reason we resist making deliberate choices is that choice equals change and most of us, feeling the world is unpredictable enough, try to minimise the trauma of change in our personal 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.
We all have to make choices in life.
Our everyday lives are filled with complex decisions. We long for simplicity and ordinariness.
Everyday decision-making around the world is constantly based on what came before us.
There's a lot of randomness in the decisions that people make.
We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.
