"My cage is bigger than yours, but it's still a cage!" - I remember the line from a movie from 1998. A beautiful movie about love and choices, the ones you are allowed to make and the ones you are forced to accept.
It made me think. I've always had that line in the back of my head, as I've found it to be true sometimes.
Isn't this how it is sometimes? We have choices, but we feel forced to accept some of them. Not the ones we would have loved to make.
We feel we have the freedom to choose, and yet, we're sometimes limited and freedom of choice seems more like an illusion.
Is it all an illusion? Are we really free? Do we truly choose?
We live in unhappy situations, through space and time, because we feel we have no other choice. But, do we really don't have a choice? Or the choice we have, the one we know we should take, just scare us to death?
Isn't us choosing to stay, a choice?
"No choice is a choice". I read that somewhere too. Isn't that how it really is?
But, let's say someone knows what decision they should make. And they want to make that decision. They really do. But they are scared of what if things won't fall into place as they haven't in the past? What then, right?
You can't go back. You can't go forward. So, what now?
I used to think that everything is a choice. Now I thought I found that situation where there is no choice, and you have to accept it.
But, is there really no choice, or is it not the one we want?
I think there are a few rare situations when we don't see a choice.
God will help us.
