Perhaps so... but if that is true, then life isn't truly a river of choice, but rather a river of destiny.

river of destiny

Great observation; and, something I strongly believe, even if it seems to contradict my original statement.

It becomes a case of no matter which path we 'choose'; inevitably we will have to endure/experience an ordained amount of joys and sorrows. In fact, I consider this duo Siamese twins; as ultimately, one will give way to the other in varying degrees.

Thanks for the feedback.

Peace.
