Do you think that having more choices is good for you?
Choice is critical to the feeling and practice of freedom. Without choice, you would be doing exactly what you’re told to do, every moment of the day.
You’d be following your programming like a machine with no soul.
A kind of pretend choice is where you can choose between the options that are given you, but the options seem empty of value, or virtually identical.

Leading a Double Life
Imagine that there is a door in your apartment or house.

Do you remember as a child, when the world seemed endless, and every stone was full of possibility?
And whatever we knew of the world, was only a beginning — a glimpse of endless knowledge that we could only dream of.
What happened to that world?
It seems so far away.
Do you feel that some or all of the possibility of youth is gone?
Has your inner world become full of pain?
Has it grown small, hard, and closed?

The Space of Choice
Houses get dusty, people grow old, machines break, men destroy, and everything that lives dies.
Yet, people build, and plant, and create. Children are born, and the world changes and grows in beautiful, new, and exciting ways.
Both are true.
The world is dying, and the world is growing and unfolding.
Life is full of contradictions.
