i agree.... with myself.
Dont think its a choice when it comes to who we are
But yes its a choice to BE who we are
Just as its a choice to breathe
To eat
To live
to sleep
Never known anyone to get anywhere living a lie. Is that the right answer? To CHOOSE to lie about who we ARE instead of choosing to BE who we are?
Who cares - even if its the wrong choice, its still OUR choice and others can take a flying leap over a rolling donut about it
I'll tell sklava it's a choice to sleep, she'll be delighted! Even the sleeping pills aren't working lately. Still, while some of your facts are in dispute, I agree with your conclusion- living a lie ain't much good- but on the other hand, sometimes it's better than the alternative. We can all admire people willing to die for the truth, but it's not always so much fun doing it yourself, and throughout time this has been the choice presented to many. So, yeah, it's still a choice, but when we talk about people having choices sometimes it's only meaningful if we take a good hard look at the alternatives. Otherwise it comes off sounding rather glib.
