Hacking Freedom of Choice and Decision Making
The question of whether we as human beings really have freedom of choice and decision making, is an open-ended question that has been asked, wondered and philosophize about since the earliest of times in human history. Over the centuries, no clear and definite answer has been formulated, and the chances that we will “discovering” a clear and final answer soon, are highly debatable. Therefore, this discussion and considerations ain't presented as a final clear-cut answer and should only be regarded as an idea, interpretation, perspective and context as related to the freedom to choose and take decisions, which in the end contains the incredible Power of Choice.

There are some things that we can have a choice about, things over which we can exercise control. Others we can influence, but cannot control. Thus, we need to channel and focus our energies on what we can control, influence those things that we can influence… and leave the rest alone by not concerning ourselves with things that we cannot control.
Unfortunately, we are arrogant enough to think that we can control those things over which we have no control at all, and - sadly - this usually gives rise to unhealthy and toxic VISDSHE-manipulation, that dreadfully results in entering the dark side of self-actualization.
