To be or not to be

This isn't something that I thought of out of nothing. It isn't something new at all. It has been there, been mentioned about, but no one seemed to realise the impact it has.

CHOICES.

I have come to a realisation how powerful men's mind could be. How when it had made up its mind, no matter how hard the situation or circumstances are going to be, it will go through it.

How we live. How we handle things. How we face problems. How we experience. It is through choices that we make.

I often wonder why God wouldn't just make Satan disappear. Then there will not be any evil people. There will not be sin. Hell will not exist. Then someone told me that God gives His people free will. He gave them a choice. To be or not to be. Right from the very start when we take our first breath, we are given a choice. 50-50 percent chance of everything. Think about it.

When we are born, we choose to breath or not to breath. Then we choose to learn or not to learn. We choose to relate and interact with people or not. We choose to be good or bad. We choose to make friends or to be alone. We choose to be friendly or a bully. We choose to be happy or to be sad. We choose to believe in God or not. We choose to believe in the supernatural or to be logical. We choose to be healthy or to be a bum. We choose to work or laze around. We choose to lie or to tell the truth. We choose to go or not to go. We choose to live or not to live.

Every choices that we make, that is the effect on our lives. Every choices that we choose, that is the experience that we might have. 50-50 percent chance to find out something new or to stay where we are. 50-50 percent chance of becoming better or stay where we are. 50-50 percent chance of everything.

There is only white or black. Good or evil. Truth or lie. God or Lucifer. There isn't such a thing as a grey area. It is just a process of the choices that we make. We choose to put certain things in the grey area, because we don't want to be white, yet don't want to be black. But actually, the fact that it is grey, it belongs to the black category already, isn't it?

The choices that we make today will determine who we are tomorrow. The choices that I make today paves my path in my life, to the place where I belong, to be safe and secure, to be the person I am to be.
