Freewill

Now, this one’s another real gem, thanks again to my “deep brother” who claims that waves of insights only come sporadically, albeit in waves or so he claims. But really, he can be pretty deep when he needs to be. Other times, we just take endless swipes of cynicisms of each other, trying our hands at one-up-manships.

Anyway, he once quoted that “Everything is a choice/priority”.

Honestly, nothing can be better said than when it is said in a sentence of short words, this being definitely one of them.

Yes, whether we feel the need to justify or atone for our actions or intentions, everything is a choice and priority. Our decisions are in a sense an exercise of our freewill nature. Being humans, we are indeed very different from animals in that we have absolute control and thereby, absolute responsibility for our decisions because they are choices.

Hence, when we fail to accept responsibility or shirk from our decisions, we’re effectively refusing to admit that we made those decisions as human beings. To put it more crudely, we had become temporary animals – a debasement of our stature as persons.

And regardless of whether we refuse to admit to ourselves or to others , we are still just as guilty of dishonouring our humanity when we plea ignorance for our actions because in every sense, we make decisions with every intent and action.

So, that is basically no running away, is there? Remember, everything is indeed choices and priorities and how we choose reveals our true character.
