Our Choices In Life
Everyone has
choices in life.
The choices we make in life define the quality of life we will have, and in most cases, will define the quality of life other people and other life forms will have now and in the future.
Choices are time dependent. All choices will have some impact. Some choices will impact the short term, and some the longer term. Some choices will have a small and more local impact, and some will have a large and more global impact.
Virtually all choices are linked, or in other words, there is an interdependence between choices in life.
The choices we make in life define who we are as individuals, who we are as a society, and who we are as a species, as human beings.
All choices have some qualifiers. A consistent value based approach will us help in defining these qualifiers.
Values should have wide and fundamental appeal to human beings around the world. High level values should be seen as applying for many generations but at the same time not be so dogmatic or rigid that they cannot evolve with our increase in wisdom over time.
For many, the number and complexity of choices is overwhelming, and the natural response is to abdicate personal responsibility for making choices. But it does not have to be overwhelming. Simply by having a dialog about choices in life with family and friends or even strangers, you will dramatically improve your ability to make conscious choices in life. Others may prefer to think about these choices in quiet contemplation. Both are good and both will lead to greater wisdom.
This blog does not claim to define what are the right or correct choices in life. It is intended to act as a catalyst for discussion about the choices in life we all have. This blog is driven by the following belief: The more people who consciously think about and discuss their choices in life, the better we will be able to make wise choices in life, and as a result, the better our world will be in the future.
Each individual has a responsibility to ask themselves “What are My Choices in Life?”. Some individuals have more choices than others but virtually everyone has more choices than they realize. Each individual also has a responsibility to make choices in life. What are your Choices In Life?
Each blog will discuss a possible choice you have in life and over time these blogs will cover many different choices. What do you think about these choices? Do you have comments about these or other choices. Share your thoughts via comments and with family and friends. It is impossible to deal with all of these choices at once. Pick one or two and think about and discuss them. Then move onto others. By participating in such discussions you will help make our world a better place for all.
