the second thing you learn, is that you can do anything you want as long as you don't get caught
the first thing you say
when faced with a difficult choice
and having made a decision
is 'what can i do? i've got no choice.'
what are the choices?
and what are the consequences?
i have no choice to do this,
because if i didn't i'd have gotten myself killed.
at what expense?
people jaywalk knowing very well its penalty of death
can you say i've got no choice
i'd have missed my bus?
like the judge who convicts a man for a charge brought against him
-i've got no choice, all the evidence at hand gives me no choice but to convict you
by what standard?
that of the law.
and the same judge, frees a man for the very same charge
for the second man is his son.
-what choice do i have? he's my son.
is he right
perhaps
does it matter?
to who?
whichever choice we make
it will, to someone, be absurd a choice
whether all evidence corroborates or makes contrary the charge,
does not prove or disprove whether a man really did commit a crime
should we place our faith then in the impossibility of the person by his character
to commit the crime
or in the seemingly insurmountable deluge of evidence?
there is no wrong answer sometimes.
when i say that i've got no choice
i simply ignore my possibilities
some choices are difficult to make
can i believe in the absurdity of Christianity?
i cannot believe. i've got no choice. the evidence is insufficient.
it's easy to believe when things are placed right in front of us
there are some things that i cannot deny
the chair that i sit on
or the table in front of me
there are also others that i have chosen to ignore
to believe then constitutes my absolute freedom
i choose to believe,
not because i've got no choice to
but because i see the possibilities
and i have chosen
i am free.
when you learn that there is no such thing as having no choice
the second thing you learn
is that you can do anything you want as long as you don't get caught
get caught by who?
by what rules must the game be played?
perhaps i can choose the sets of rules in society
that i wish to abide by
but there are no rules
if it is normal to place donation in tin cans
is it then wrong to not do so?
if everyone i know prefers lays to ruffles
are lays necessarily superior?
i can use a nikon camera
when my canon loving friends aren't looking
should i deny myself to be right with the world
or should i set myself against the world?
does it matter?
what really is right?
so what even i get caught?
who has the right to judge?
i don't have to answer to anything other than my will for myself
that which is God's will for me
there is no right or wrong really
truth is in how we comprehend reality.
