I find it strange that we can recieve all the advice in the world yet not one thing we take seriously enough as if it could ever apply to us.
Then one day it all comes back to you and you finally realize that it did totally make sense and you now wished you applied that same advice to your life back when it would have made an actual difference or been most beneficial.
Sure you can apply it now and I am sure it will change things for you, however this isnt why you were given the advice so long ago.
I guess that is sort of the lack of understanding when it comes to Time and how cruel it can be ....
When we are told that we have the right to make choices how can any one parent allow their children to make choices knowing they will undoubtedly be the wrong ones?
I think this is because once a child comes to the realization that he or she is capable of appling the outcome of their own free will to the game of chance, it now becomes much more exciting and can be related to feeling truly alive.
Humans as a whole are not programmed to foresee failure and that is because from the moment we are able to communicate with other humans we are lead to believe we are capable of doing anything.
But how do you raise a child and have them understand Moderation?
You Dont!
When a child finds something to be to their liking they automatically want more with no concept of why he or she shouldn't be able too...
Why is this?
What sparks the ambition for our senses to take control of our rational thinking to even be able to conceive the idea that to much may be a bad thing and still we do not care?
Time is a very cruel thing if it in fact does have any control over when we are able to understand these sort of backwards lessons.
Looking back the one thing I always regret is not taking the time for myself, what I mean by that is instead of always going in the direction of society I should have invested more time in the things that were close to me...my parents, my children, grandparents, heck even my dogs...My teeth, my toys and most of all the advice I was given for free all those years ago.
These days the world moves to fast for anyone to really enjoy anything, everything revolves around the almighty $$$ and so thats becomes the only thing we focus on.
The biggest reason children do not understand why they cannot have the things they want is, they see things in a much more black and white way.
They are not aware as to why anyone cares about a man made piece of paper, the color of it or why that it is so important to one person and why the other would care at all, to see life for what it's really all about and that it is so fresh in their scope of perception they have no choice but to explore all it has to offer.
So I guess a choice is a matter of perspective as well then...
After all isnt that what we find to be so straining about life?
The choices we have and how others view them almost leads me to believe the choice wasn't all yours to make after all, if it were wouldnt you always choose that what is best for you?
Just remember, you must choose for yourself first and then for others for if you fail by choosing wrong...how can you choose to help anyone in the future?
The Bible states we are all born with a choice... the choice of free will...now the options they give you do not really in my mind reflect a really big choice...either choose to follow and obey Or burn for all eternity in a damnation of fire and brimstone all the while in pain and at the end of the day wouldnt a child still choose the candy bar that would make him sick if he kept eating them? wtf kinda choice is that when your teaching a child who has yet to comprehend the concept of Slavery and bondage vs a self inflicted gunshot wound?
The truth is you don't and thats what free will is all about...so to say we always have a choice ...I guess thats based on how young you are in the mind to really be able to answer that truthfully.
