There are so many choices in the world, so why choose choices that you know will end up biting you in the future?

Looking at the world today, you see a lot of people trying to take charge. I think part of the bigger problem is that we as human beings have placed ourselves too far ahead of everything in the world around us.

We have people making "projections" and guesses for the future, but it's all merely one man's guess versus another, but we base our entire civilization on these guesses. Whether you're leasing a car without getting additional personal insurance, putting your life savings in a house, or even paying your bills on a credit card. It's all based on the guess. It's all based on you, not your family, your friends, your employer, or anyone else. We like to hide behind these factors, hide behind the facts of life, hide behind our misery and pain, but in the end, the choice is still your own.

Even in the most extreme cases, where another person forces you to choose life in submission or freedom in death, you still have a choice even if it means there will be no more choices to come afterward.

Who "you" are is yourself. We are who we are, we are not who we are not. Both are equal, but not the same. I am a gay man, I am not a straight man. I am a conservative, I am not a liberal. I am blind in one eye, I am not fully sighted.

When we make a choice that will come back to haunt us, maybe we just don't think about it as a choice, maybe we see only the present good, or maybe we never see the future consequences to begin with.

In philosophy, I think the concept that consequence is not random, but innately based on your life and how it affects the world around you, to be a truth.
