Choice a very common word probably one of the first words which we learn when we learn language. But my first understanding of the word choice came just two years back. I had started reading Harry potter series, in the last chapter of the first book when professor Dumbledore explains the reasons of events happening around he emphasizes the importance of choice between good and evil. This last chapter acted as tipping point and by the time I finished reading sixth book “Harry Potter and half Blood Prince” the idea of choice was engraved in my heart.
Choice is the miracle world. Within this easy six letter word, world’s mystery resides. We make choice at every step of life. Be it simple choice of eating what and when or the complex choice of marrying someone. We keep choosing one thing or the other. This everyday choice makes up the path of our life and on the death bed when we will look back at our life we will see the cloth of life is woven by the fabric of choice.
The idea of choice is very well explained by Richard Back in his book “One” , though I did not understood the book when I read for the first time and chose to quit in middle !
Many a times I have heard people talking about destiny. One set of people say God or almighty has predefined everything and human being has no say in it and other set of people say we human being make our life. But as Richard Back explains in his book “One”, we human being are given millions of alternate paths, we can say this millions of options are given by God and then its we human being who chooses one of the alternatives and determine our destiny. Hence essentially it’s we and our choices that make our life. So what is my next choice?
By the way I am anxiously waiting for last potter book to know where does his choice takes him now!
