Every human being is given choices while they live on this Earth. I find it interesting in how many opposite concepts we have in our existence: darkness and light; poor and riches; bad and good; pain and joy; ignorance and knowledge; nothing and eternity; hate and love; war and peace; fate and faith; denial and belief; and, nothing and everything. There are many more such pairs of words. It does not seem to matter what the concept is from the truly insignificant to a critically important idea; there always seems to be a counterpoint, the matching opposite, or the alternate choice. As the Chinese prefer to define this, it is the yin and the yang of the Universe.

Whether we like to accept it or not, whether the government or laws of the day "allow" it, we have each been given free will and the right to choose. Over history, philosophers have debated greatly and written much on just the two subjects of free will and existence. We may be raised by parents in a certain way, we may have grown up in an unique environment, we may feel we are constrained to act and behave in a certain way, but at the very core and heart of this issue is that we all have free will and choice.
