Every decision that you've made up to this point, have led you to this point.

There are plenty of times when you are subject to the decisions of others, where you have absolutely no control, that will lead you to this point.

That's pretty rare, though I'll concede that sometimes you have very little control. Do you have an example?

It's far easier to become a lawyer.

Where and when and to whom you were born?

When the company you work for is sold to a rival company, making the Directors millionaires and leaving you out of a job.

I had a choice whether to start that job, but no choice or control over how I left it.

When you are driving carefully down a road and a drunk driver crashes into your car. Yes you chose to drive....no you didn't have control over the `crash.

When your baby is born severely disabled and requiring a lifetime of medical attention and assistance.

When you suffer from an inherited condition which has an affect on how you can live your life.

If you get attacked by some random individual on the tube.

How you react to and your attitude toward those instances are far more powerful and lasting in your life than the actual occurrences themselves.

DanaC 03-28-2007 11:15 AM

I think there's some truth to that.

Other than the example of being born, Jinx's point is valid. I chose the job, putting myself in a position to lose it when it was taken over. I chose to drive on that road, at that time. It's not that I controlled what happened, but my decisions put me there.

the working classes' role is to support and uphold the wealthy.

Think about it next time they slip the handcuffs on and you have no idea why.
Or you spend thirty years building a business and the government passes a law that puts you out of business.
How about when your spouse goes out for a pack of smokes and never comes back.
Or when your mother dips you in protection, all but your heel.
