A choice, through history, has always been a possibility to humankind. This choice is not that of choosing one over the other. This choice is of having the ability to choose a difficult path for that lays ahead of us. Moreover, what humans have figured out is that the choices made are not merely for survival, that’s an approach other mortals take, not human beings. Humans choose the only available path not just to survive but to also find their own expression. It’s just that many of us don’t recognise that this path exists.
For instance, Gandhi chose a path of non-violence. It was his expression that transformed into a collective expression on which a country was formed. It certainly wasn’t an easy path, but a chosen path. So does a little girl chooses to fall off the bicycle twenty times before gaining the ability to balance, for that bicycle will enhance her expression of life and gives her freedom.
From Gandhi to that little girl, we all have always chosen outside of our comfort zone. And, yet we resist certain things? It is only a matter that we recognise that we have the ability to choose.
