freedom of choice [Theme] Page 5

However, if we talk about it... In this world there is no one single "right way". This is something everyone chooses for himself what is the most important and worth living for. The opportunity to make their own decisions, even the most stupid in life is the greatest wealth given to the people.

I choose, you say? Every time you say that, I have no choice.

Thoughts and intentions simply arise in the brain. What else can they do? The truth about us is stranger than many people think: the illusion of free will is itself an illusion.

Becomes less than the alternatives, Newspapers in this city, how many of them? It was 3-4, now one or two and are owned by the same people, and they own a radio station...No need for a formal conspiracy when there is a coincidence of interests, these people studied at the same University, was in the same communities and country clubs, they have the same interests, they did not convene meetings, so they know that they are playing into the hands and they take it. Before it was 7 the oil companies, now they are 3 and soon to be 2. Those things carry weight in this country is getting smaller: two political parties, a handful of insurance companies, 6 or 7 information offices, but if you want bagels, then here's 23 different flavors. In this illusion, the illusion of choice. That is important, you do not choose, and no freedom of choice.

The only freedom that can be for everyone - freedom of choice.

To tell me that I can do anything is like pulling the plug out filled with bath water and tell the water that it can flow anywhere. Try it, you'll see what happens.

- He's dead...
- He has almost no cybernetic enhancements.
- Was this outcome necessary? Reason: not enough.
- I guess I. don't know everything.

- You'd better learn about them and choose.

I told him that this place [street] is not for him, and he replied that he wants to stay here, what this life is his choice. Take his word for it or forced to return to the shelter - that human: violence or the recognition of his freedom to stay in the lost colony of broken, helpless souls?

Well, when there is a solution that can be adopted.

- You have not answered the main question.
- Why did I agree to stay here? Because I have no other choice.
- Is. Each of us has. I think if one person says that he does not agree, we go back.

Between stimulus and response is power - freedom of choice.

I think true freedom lies somewhere in the middle. In you and in me. In our friends. In that choice we make every time we take a decision. Freedom is does not mean that you suddenly ceased from someone to depend. Freedom, as I now understand it is the context that you have defined for myself. And for those who still did not understand, just in case duplicated in the biblical commandments: thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal... turns out, it's so simple, Lin... every day we meet many and VERY easy to understand tips that help come to an understanding, but somehow stubbornly don't see how to use them.
