I Love, you Love- Everyone loves

We do not need to make choices if they are not put before them. This is not denial, but rather a form of categorical fallacy. For example, if I am not religious, it does not mean that I must believe in devil or is an anti-Christ. Similarly, if I do not show interest in something, it must mean that I show interest the opposite thing. Unless the things in discussion are ESSENTIALLY different things, some choices are simply false choices.

Like for example, when I do not do anything, it means that I do not want, incapacitated or simply passive. Choices- beyond the either/or can only increase with knowledge. Likewise, we are also limited by what we know- hence then can we say that we then doomed to die, since this is the only thing we will ever know for sure. Hence then how can our entire civilization survive for more than 5000 years.

Of course, there are certain things beyond our control- like where we are born and the social environment that we lived in. Choices are then imposed onto us by these environments that we lived in. Hence even if we are free to choose, we not are free to "choose". Therefore, communities often imposed these choices onto it's people and the more ideologically tight the community, the more tighter the implications.

Today, as I was taking the bus, I was left with this very simple choice: I could take the bus in which this pretty girl went up the bus but it was extremely crowded- and I would still get to my destination- or as this bus was approaching, another came almost immediately, which was emptier came- and I will still get to my destination- but I had to board this bus with a bunch of strange men. Hence the implications would be 1) since I did not take the bus with the girl, I must be gay 2) since I take the bus with the strange men, I then must be gay. I chose the second bus, simply because I didnt know this girl and the chances of getting a seat was easier in the second. By the fate or choice of some supernatural force, since the bus almost came at the same time, can I be seen as gay since I chose to have a seat then to follow a a strange girl.

What if the bus with the strange girl came first and I didnt see the second bus, I would definitely take this bus, since in this case- it just makes perfect sense- since I do not forewarned knowledge that the second bus was coming in ths first place.

Imagine you are playing Sim City and you are god or the bus authorities looking down at your citizens and decided to arrange this pattern, can you make a conclusion that this "citizen" is gay.

I have once said that our lives are made by the choices that we make, and for some reason, by the hand of fate or some supernatural force, i am not able to get what I want or missed on something because I make incorrect decisions, can I then rue myself for always making the wrong choices. No you can't, because you make it to your best ability and unless you do not, you would then rue all the choices that you have make in your life.

I have consider myself not as hyper-successful person nor as a man which attempts to win the popularity contest, I consider myself as a man whom who will do everything to the best of my ability within my given means and to the best of my knowledge and understanding. If it is not good enough for everybody, it is good enough for me- I fear being judged, not by some random person on the street, but by myself- and as there are certain things that we will never know, and if then, I will leave it at that.

Goodnight

Eugene
