Free will in a determined world.

On the third day of the new year, we start to slip on the promises we have made to ourselves. How quick are we to give up on our own resolutions. This world has such a crazy dynamic to it, that it almost distracts us from everything we stand for.

Yes, this world has dug a pit that it wants you to call a “path to success”, but deep down you are aware that the life they have prescribed unto you is not what you want. The world has its twists and turns, and unfortunately it couldn’t care less about whether or not you fit into the puzzle. Therefore, you should strive and continue with your own passions.

How weak would we be if we broke our resolutions and never tried again until the coming year. Everyday we are free to make resolutions, everyday you are free to work towards your goals. They always tell you that you are free to choose life you want to live; what they don’t tell you is that you are not free from the consequences of said choice. They have glamourized the materialistic consumer lifestyle where the weekdays pay for the weekends.

When you give up your choice and succumb to the machine that strives to abolish individual freedoms through their secular ideologies, you are left with the consequences. I personally am afraid of the direction the world is going. I have worked with youth in schools and at community centres and I see the changes that take place in our society. Kids have never had so much external influence, and we as adults need to do everything we can to uphold the sanctity of individual choice.

I will not go on about the many things that are wrong with this world, but I will say that I’m sure you’re aware of some. We have to realize that it is not too late to reclaim what was never theirs. You are either consciously working towards your own goals, or unconsciously serving someone else’s.

Choose wisely.
