What we need here is more choice?
When did “choice” become a thing? Of course I want to have choices – to choose where I live, what car I buy, what college I go to. I want to choose whom I love. Making choices is what humans do. Making choices defines being human.
But choice as an ideology? Can we have choice for choice’s sake? Are we entitled to choice, or do we make choices possible? We are embedded in the culture that we learned, the family, the language, the ways, the diet, religion, the economy, and so forth. We didn’t have a choice in it; we were born to it and raised in it. How then, are we entitled to choice?
The way we live our lives gives us the chance to choose, and we deal with the consequences of choosing. That is how we learn, or fail to learn. That is how we grow, or fail to grow.
Something is fishy with this notion of choice.
