The Illusion of Choice

Will you take the Red Pill, or the Blue Pill?
Will you choose to save the world and give up the life of your lover, or will you save your lover and give up the survival of the mankind?

There is no choice. There is just the illusion of Choice.
There is no choice. This is what the lady said to me, after the staging of the drama my friend P invited me to. Will you choose God and spend eternity in Heaven? Or will you choose not to accept God and spend eternity suffering in Hell?

There is no choice.
You have no choice; I have no choice.

Choice means you have at least one alternative. If you do not pick Option 1, Option 2 is just as viable. Weigh the pros and cons of each option and then pick one option.

Now comes the Illusion of Choice. When you die, you will go to Hell and suffer. You do not have a choice about that. No appeals. You can’t choose between Hell Level 1 or 5…
Now, you have a choice as to whether you want to accept God. Then you can go to Heaven when you die… Now make your choice: Will you accept God or NOT?

What is your choice?

I can’t choose not to die… I WILL die…

If you were Neo, will you choose to save the world, and survive without your lover, OR save your lover and await Armageddon together with her or him?

There is no choice. Or is there?

We can’t decide or choose what happens to us… We can’t help the circumstances that happen to us… But perhaps we can choose how to respond to them…

“The future is the only kind of property that the masters willingly concede to their slaves.”
Camus

If we must be slaves to the masters, the higher Being governing our lives, let us choose how our future can be like… No one should deprive us of our rights to our future…
