Choices

We all have to make choices in our lives. I think we can agree on that. But do WE have the right to force our thoughts or beliefs on others when they don’t make the same choice we would make? No, we do not. The choices others make is none of our business. Of course, I’m speaking about adults who are mentally capable; not children, not mentally challenged, or anyone else who doesn’t have the ability to make rational and safe decisions. 

So why the heck do others seem to think that another person’s choices are wrong? Just because that choice is not one we would make for ourselves for whatever reason, doesn’t mean that it’s wrong. 

If someone else’s choices are offensive to you, so what? Are your feelings or preferences more important than theirs? I think not. Just stay in your own lane and mind your own business. Let others live their lives and make their own choices. Life is hard enough without someone trying to make you do what they want you to do!

Here are a few quotes that I found that are quite relevant:

Enjoy the rest of your day, my friends. Until next time,

When Will People Learn?

My son’s best friend, A.S. got busted for possession of marijuana and if that isn’t enough, possession of an illegal firearm too. After all the trouble my daughter got into last year, you’d think he would’ve been smarter. Now he has a couple felony charges hanging over his head and his life will be ‘on hold’ until he gets everything resolved. He may end up with jail time, drug court or probation and maybe all 3.

When I talked to him, I told him that every choice we make will effect the rest of our lives. One wrong choice can ruin our lives! He says he’s done with all this; that he has learned his lesson. I hope so.

It really hurts my heart when the people I care about make such bad mistakes. If they would only listen! I managed to make it through high school without succumbing to peer pressure. I never tried drugs and even now would never try drugs. Why can’t people see what drugs can do to a person? Is a high so important that they will risk their health, their lives and even the lives of those around them?

I just don’t get it. I probably never will. When will people learn?
