Life Is About Choice

I read on the internet, The words of an esteemed doctor, life is about choice, you can't blame your parents, you can't blame the government, you are to blame for your life, you make the choice's, that make your life, A little girl, went up to the pope, why does god allow, children to be hurt, India has children, working in coal mines, as young as eight or nine, father's selling kids as slave's, You can blame the parent, you can blame the government, little children abused and used, deprived of a education, become adults, that can, blame their parents, that can blame the government children that didn't have a choice granted that in life many choose not to try many a child, blame's the parent, when in truth, it is their own lack of effort, their own bad choice's, yet the answer is never, black and white, parents are not perfect, we make mistakes, we have faults, but going around in a circle of blame, helps no one, life is not, black and white sometimes it's a shade of grey, granted faults lie with the parents, faults also lie with the children, yet change is best affected on the self, set yourself small steps, steps aimed, at overcoming the problem, can't read that's a problem, learn to read that's the solution, to shy thats the problem, learn to talk, thats the solution, granted life is about choice, you can learn to overcome, feeling depressed all the time, read jokes learn to laugh, that's the solution, find away,to stop thinking that way, blaming people create's anger, around and around you go, fighting bickering, staying on the round about of pain, granted we can all blame our parents, blame the people that we loved, they make mistakes, find solutions not pain. your parents didn't give you love, learn to cuddle your children, learn to become better than your parents, life is about change be prepared to change.

The life is full of similar sad stories and personal experiences.We wonder why that? Some cases escape from any control.Between inherited paths and a kind of education and experience, the habits lead us sometimes against reason and feeling, tradition and moral laws :it is something like an impulse.An alternative for educational curriculum is REBT,but mass-media and "cultural industry" (supposed progressive) became dangerous. Rights and responsabilities are twins,however...Painful reality

Life teaches us to choose,but our behavior depends on will,feelings,cognition and habits.I think you have just a personal style ,a charming one in which sadness and a secret joy live together with great expectations to change what is to be changed and hold the dreams.Congrat.

Some times, life take's away the choice's we have, a know a woman, that as a teenager, had a mother that was disabled and an alcoholic, her step father used to beat her, creating a rebelious attitude, in the child, interfering with school work. Whe she turned 13, she had to take over looking after her siblings, and a by this time, an invalid step father, that was on his death bed, this interferred with her schooling, stopping her education. Parents that are on drugs, often teach the children, that drugs are good, teaching the child to like the idea of having drugs, sometimes the child decides to take drugs, going against the parents advice, sometimes you have choice and sometimes you don't.
