Choices

Choices are always there for us to make, whether we want to or not. It is the illusion of a free will that was supposedly bestowed upon us. But how can anyone be sure that the choices they make is out of their own free will?

Many a times we think our choices and decisions are ours to make and affects only us alone. But everything is linked in a way or another. Even the slightest decision can move the largest mountain. Go look up chaos theory and butterfly effect.

My decisions affect my destiny, and also the lives of the people around me. With that in mind, I am often wary of the things I say and do. Why make 10 other people unhappy if that unhappiness can be eliminated if I stay silent?

I'm not sure if I did the right thing in being honest. Honesty is a virtue that could have serious implications when there's a clash of interest. But it's too late to change the situation right now. The initial conditions have been changed, and the results will only be known over time.
