Most people become what they are without a choice; they're innocent to the fact that they'd rather have been something else if they knew what they were missing, so they never try to change. But imagine a world full of choices with no conditions. Imagine two guiding voices with opposing advice for each choice. That'd be the same as no advice at all, the only difference being that you're presented with reasons why or why not to pick each voice's side. So when you're given a choice, which side would you pick? The one with reason, or the one that commands you to fearfully pick it? The one that tells you to be practical, weigh your options and use your brain, or the one that tells you follow with blind trust? The one that's proven right, or the one that works on abstract faith? The one that's been proved correct by experience, or the one that works on instinct (though it offers to accept responsibility IF you fail)? The one that presents it's case and gives you space to think your way over to believe in it, or the one that urges you to pick it for no reason other than it's brain-dimming simplicity? The one that tells you to be great, or the one that tells you be another ordinary selfish person? The one that tells you to look beyond, or the one that tells you to look out for yourself? I'm one of the lucky few who's been given a choice, and I think I've picked my side. You know what? Even if you haven't been given the choice before, take it now. You're the master of your life; there's no one to force any kind of conditioning into you anymore. You can choose whatever you want. So if you were wrong before, change it now. Don't abide by your side's rules if it tells you to ignore your conscience screaming out to you, "I'm on the wrong side!" Just because it isn't the harder way around.
