We Make Choices And Are In Turn

When We Speak Of Choice, What We Mean Is The Ability To Exercise Control Over Ourselves And Our Environment. In Order To Choose, We Must First Perceive That Control Is Possible.

We Do The Same Thing In Our Own Lives, Embracing Information That Supports What We Already Prefer Or Vindicates Choices We Previously Made.after All, It Feels Better To Justify Our Opinions Rather Than Challenge Them, To Contemplate Only The Pros And Relegate The Cons To The Back Of Our Minds. However, If We Want To Make The Most Of Choice, We Have To Be Willing To Make Ourselves Uncomfortable. The Question Is, If We Are Willing, How Exactly Do We Go About Fortifying Ourselves Against These Biases?

Really Appears From Very Early On And If You Look At Children's First Words, "no, Yes."

Well Certainly Not Having Any Choice - Having Your Entire Life Dictated By Others.
