Sometimes, it is so hard to choose, that we let time slip away and make the choice for us. Not making a choice is still a choice.
We don't have a give of foresight, which is probably good because if we do are able to see our future, and correct our present course of action, wouldn't that negate the future? So the paradox would be, did our foresight true or just wild imaginings? We cannot verify and the bottomline is, life then would become boring.
If we are to act in a pre-ordained set of patterns, what's the point of living?
I guess, no, I believe for that matter, that free will makes us human.
What makes us humane is choosing that free will for the good.
I admit, I was pretty selfish in the past, I only think about myself or only help those that can give me satisfaction in return.
Quite true, that you can only be mature with experience. Looking back to who I was ten years ago, I could just cringe.
Party, gimmicks, late-night dates, drinking but no drugs or smoking, promiscuity etc.
Not only that, my self-confidence in my career is probably the worst.
I was afraid of my bosses, I was always afraid that they wouldn't like my work, I was afraid of getting fired, I was afraid of coming in late, I was afraid of going home on time, I was afraid of so many things.
Time and experience do bring about the confidence in me...
Although I admit that where I am now is a consequence of all my decisions, I am quite surprised to see where it has taken me so far...
