Many people speak of life as a series of choices. I can't really dispute that, but would like to offer some insight as to the nature of choices.

In my personal paradigm I make this distinction between choices; small c and large C. Small c choices are those we make every minute of everyday, what shall I have eggs or cereal. at the intersection do I go left or right, or Coke or Pepsi. You get the idea. Big C Choices come as matters of honor or integrity.

Now most people look at the choices they make constantly as usually trivial. I differ every choice one makes no matter how trivial at the time is viewed as ultimately life and death. You turn left instead of right and a dump truck runs over you, you choose Pepsi today and someone has poisoned Pepsi,
and so on.

Now I realize most people don't carry their small c choices to that extent. Warriors do, "you pay your nickel and you take your chances".

Now big C Choices are the ones everyone seems to concern themselves with. These Choices of integrity and honor seem to me as easier to make.

I find that these Choices usually come down not as spontaneous but instead you make these Choices on a series of choices you have made throughout your life. As a adult, when the shit hits the fan, those that and face the fire and those who run and hide was decided along time ago.

Yet, paradoxically someone who can go against his Choices of the past and truly chooses a path of honor and integrity can truly be called courageous. So I actually hold out hope that everyone
can make the "right Choice" and watch out for those "choices".
