Description

We live thinking we have a choice, a choice to live, and do with it what we please. A choice to be who we are or who we want to be. However in reality what we feel as a sense of choice is nothing more than an illusion. 

Life is essentially the act of growing up, of learning and developing. When we are born we are free from societal dogmas, we have no sense of morality, no sense of disgust.  We are taught the right ways to do things, from the right way to treat others to the right way to think. When we grow up we think we become more free, and although that is true in a material sense, we are becoming increasingly structured, predetermined to a set mentality. Consciousness becomes less subjective as it leeches to the templates fed to us. Templates of the "right" human to be. 


No matter where we look, society bombard us with dogmas and life being such and adaptive entity, it works to physically rewire our brain in order to reach societal effectiveness with full efficiently. Unfortunately, for the brain efficiency means getting to a reaction in the shortest time possible. So our adapted brain seeking to fit in recycles taught mentalities since it would be more efficient to recite rather than to formulate an opinion.


We like to think we shape our journey and what happens with it, however life is nothing more than an educated guess. We like to think it is us that make the big choices in our life, Our choices of philosophy, liberties and even people around us. However all this is predetermined by societies, oportunites and brain structures. Choice has less to do with choice and more to do with effectiveness, efficient and a hint of pleasure.
