Choices

“You chose..”

“It was your choice…”

“Choices have consequences.”

“…by your choice.”

Yes. I made a choice.

But I made my choice after many, many other choices, not all made by me. Every day we choose, do we not? I’m not just talking about picking a breakfast cereal or what to wear to work. I’m talking about relationships. How we choose to treat the people in our lives. The little things, the big things, and everything in between; they all add up.

Yes, I made a choice. And now I have my consequences.

If

If you didn’t care what happened to me,
And I didn’t care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain.
Wondering which of the buggars to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.

it makes me wonder

You can’t do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth.
