That day when Ms.Helena said we could actually choose not to attend the leadership camp, choose not to do our journal and choose not to read the 7 habits book, it made me thought about a quote I heard long ago. That quote was "you are free to choose but you're not free from the consequences of your choice". An example would be like if you decided to murder someone you hate,you are free to do so but you are certainly not free from the consequences of your action.
Just like in real life, there are lots of difficult choices to be made. In order to avoid unfavourable consequences, we must consider every possible consequence we might face before we make the next move. So whether to do as Ms.Helena said or not, it's basically up to you yourself to decide.
It's an interesting thought because I once wrote in one of my papers before about controversial topics that I did not think that anyone truly has the freedom of thought/choice/speech.
ReplyDeleteI explained it as merely an illusion of choice while really, we are influenced all around by things like our peers, family, religion, social media, etc. That a choice might seem to be ours but we are really just being dictated by the things around us to choose and think a certain way.
I didn't really expand on it but this certainly makes me think of it. Thanks for making it as a post :)
I'm glad my post has reminded you about it and you're welcome (:
