it says that the absence of choice is a cricumstance that is very, very rare.

I am puzzled whether we can indeed choose everything in our life,or most ?
someone says that choice is the illusion between people with power and those without.

we can't choose our parents, our birth, our background.....that is true

However, when we think that we can choose a career....and so on , is it true that we have the power to choose or the fact is that we are choosen by the destiny?

What do you think of the topic? tell me why?

:) I am a new comer here, happy to see you .

nothing is preset and nothing cannot be altered

*stops snortig white powder*

a positive answer
but if i admit that choice is rare, does it mean i am negative or yield to the destiny?

Absence of choice is possible, but most of them always end up depressing rather than enlightening, which is why no one wants it.

Destiny is ours to choose, it doesn't choose us.

Welcome to SciForums, Seamaid! :)

Destiny is ours to choose, it doesn't choose us.

Until death pays us a visit :D

It is hard to change one's personality, but it is possible. So, everything after birth is subject to our own will. A whole lot of choices :D I mean, just think of how many things you can alter!

It is more constructive to accept a position of control. Perhaps you won't be able to change anything, but at least you'd try. If you don't try, there will be no change. If you try, you could also succeed.

:m:

Until death pays us a visit :D

Death is the price we all pay for life.

It is rather difficult to test if humans have choice in any matter.

You would have to know what the original choice an individual would make woul be. Then this individual has to choose another choice. And then you would have to prove that the new choice is actually a choice.

He was forced after all to choose something else than his original choice.

And if an individual makes a free choice how to we prove it that it was really a choice?

Witness Odysseus and the Syrenes: He had his men wax their ears, while he was tied to the mast, listening to the song of the Syrenes.

However, this kind of free choice seems to be a lost art.
