Life is about choices.
Each of us have the divine right,
To make our own choices.
When our loved ones or others,
Make choices we may not agree with them.
We may think they have made,
The wrong choices.
But, we must honor and respect,
Their choices.
This is not to say that we can not give,
Others our advise or insights.
This is not to say that we cannot,
Express our feelings about the choices,
Others have made.
But, we must realize,
That ultimately,
The person must be allowed to make their own choices,
And we must respect them.
For many,
This is a hard thing to do,
Because we want the best for our loved ones.
They make their choice,
And we feel they have made the wrong choice.
So we do not agree with their choice,
But we must realize that we cannot,
Make choices for them.
Others must be allowed to make their own choices,
Even if we strongly disagree with those choices.
To rob a person of their right to make choices,
Is to place them in a place of enslavement.
It is an attempt to make them dependent on us,
And that is a wrong choice,
And a poor intention.
We have no right to rule over others.
We have no right to deny them,
Their power to make choices for themselves.
No matter how difficult it is,
No matter how much we disagree with them,
No matter how much we yearn for them to make another choice,
We still must respect their choices.
And we still must allow others to chose for themselves.
We can express to them our feelings.
We can point out possible consequences to them.
We can point out how their choices may effect others.
But, we cannot deny them their right to make choices for themselves.
It is often difficult,
And disappointing.
But, in the end,
We must honor the choices of others.
