Personal choice

Life should not be dictated and should be the result of personal choice. Before you tell someone off or become against something someone is enjoying and is their personal choice ask yourself “does it harm me or someone else?” If the answer is yes then ask yourself “how does it harm me?” Work out if their pleasure is greater than your harm or others harm. Example would be, a neighbour playing loud music. The loud music is harming you because it will affect your work the following day. It effects has potential to affect you financially and emotionally. Therefore telling them to turn the music down may be a good idea.

Another example would be a same sex couple living together. It does not cause any real harm to you or anyone else what they choose to do with their life is up to them not you. Consider other peoples wishes not in terms of personal gain but in the way it affects others. The personal choices of others and the life’s others live are their own choice. If it affects you or causes direct harm to others than it is a problem. Real problems are murder, rape, stealing and fraud. Same sex relationships, sex before marriage, the clothes people wear, the jobs they lead and the people they chose to be around are their own choices and it is their life to lead. Worry what people need not what you think they need. It is your life it is your choice it is their life it is their choice.
