“When faced with two equally tough choices, most people choose the third choice: to not choose.
”
― Jarod Kintz, This Book Title is Invisible

"Whatever you decide, don't let it be because you don't think you have a choice."
- Hannah Harrington, Saving June 

"Sometimes forgiving was easy for me; sometimes forgiving was a very bold choice. Whatever kind of choice it was, it always led me to a more peaceful heart. It always left me happier and free to move on to create healthier relationships with others and with myself."
- Robin Casarjian, Forgiveness: A Bold Choice For A Peaceful Heart

"When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons. In vital matters, however, such as the choice of a mate or a profession, the decision should come from the unconscious, from somewhere within ourselves. In the important decisions of personal life, we should be governed, I think, by the deep inner needs of our nature."
- Sigmund Freud

"Truth is not what we want to see, but to make us see that which is amply visible even if not seen."
- Anuj Somany

A story of the wrong path....

From 'Children's Story' by Slick Rick:

Once upon a time not long ago,
when people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
When laws were stern and justice stood,
and people were behavin' like they ought ta good,
There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
by anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
"Me, Ya, Ty, we gonna make sum cash,
robbin' old folks and makin' tha dash",
They did the job, money came with ease,
but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha,
tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover,
The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
...
He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream,
the cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream,
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
just another case 'bout the wrong path,

"Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsbility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect."
- Eleanor Roosevelt

"We need to teach the next generation of children from Day One that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear."
- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

"We have limits to what we can do. At some point there has to be an informed personal choice."
- Jim Geringer
