CHOICE IS AS OLD AS MANKIND
In the history of mankind,choice is as old as the world. Choice is a fundamental aspect of human existence. This is corroborated by the irrevocable action of Eve when the serpent lured her into eating of the fruit in the centre of the garden,which God had forbade them to eat.
God had before hand warned them against eating of the tree,but the serpent came and presented them with an alternative,thereby presenting them with two options and leaving them with a choice to make.
EVE AND THE SERPENT
The serpent presented Eve with the idea of plucking one of the fruits of the forbidden tree. Eve in response told the serpent that God had forbade them from eating the particular fruit. The cunning serpent convinced her beyond reasonable doubt. It told her that God Himself knows that the day she and her husband Adam eat of the tree,they would be like the gods,knowing good from evil. Without any further resistance,Eve plucked the fruit and ate part of it. (imagine the irresistible power of conviction)
However,Eve's was the choice to make. She could have refused the serpent's offer if she really believed what God had told she and her husband,Adam. She could have made the right choice notwithstanding the pressure,but because she had a choice to make,confusion crept in. There and then,she made a choice,which brought disaster on she and the entire human race
ADAM'S CHOICE
Adam on the other hand could have outrightly rebuked his wife Eve the moment she presented him the fruit. He could have held on tenaciously to God's warning,but because he also had a choice to make;a free will,which God has given to everyone as soon as we were born,he followed suit.
You have to be very careful when you have a variety of choices to make,because you have the tendency of choosing the wrong option. At this point,you 're faced with a wrong and the right option. But the fact remains that you know what you you want,and the effect the alternative will have on your life. Make a choice you know will benefit you and at the same time benefit mankind. That's the only way you can be fulfiled.
Basically, the need for choice-making arises when we are faced with two different,and sometimes opposite options.
WHERE THERE IS A CHOICE, FAILURE AND SUCCESS RESIDE
However, the best choice you can ever make will present itself to you in a plain view. It might not be easy to keep it after you've made the choice, but what justifies your decision is the end result. Since you' ve weighed both sides and realized that which, will benefit you a great deal,it's therefore rational and wise that you you make such decision.
Man so much love his comfort zone that he sees no need to leave there. A zone, which has caged him hitherto. Until you leave your comfort zone and step into uncertainty,you may never be able to define your goals,you may never be able to define your values as a human.
Define your values as a human by making sensible decisions.
