“The choices we make, dictate the life we lead.”Quote from Danny DeVito in ‘The Renaissance Man’ ….”To thine own self be true.”(Shakespeare–Hamlet, — also as above).
You and I must come to understand this: “Everything in your life is the result of Your decisions and actions”. We can and do allow other influences in our life, and that is also a personal decision. Attempting to not make a decision, . . . Is a decision for which the decider is still responsible.
Allowing or even making someone else decide for you, it is still your outcome and your responsibility.
As a son or daughter of Adam, we are required to choose between Right and Wrong, from the moment that we are able to know that this thing is wrong to do, we are responsible.
Okay, for most people this is a hard thing to deal with, and that too is their choice, but does not change the outcome or the responsibility. It is personal, not a group, just personal.
So now you may wonder how powerful is this requirement to choose? Short answer: It is the reason you are human, and the choice of every Soul is the reason the universe is here. The universe was not an accident caused by chance, it was designed to do exactly what it is doing.
Youtube videos:
The Signs Of Gods Existence The first is about what science and logic present, and this changes at 90 mins. A good time to stop.
The Privileged Planet is a serious of 12 short videos which describe what is needed for a planet, star, galaxy to support Intelligent Life.
Rational Approach To Divine Origin of Judaism A nice process to determine what might be true. If you are in question.
