A friend of mine has had a problem with the way I am living my life. She believes that I kept my life choices a secret because I felt they were wrong. But you know what? The reason I began to keep my private life on the DL was because I wanted something of my own. I didnt want any one to weigh in on my decisions. I wanted, for once in my life, to completely make my own choices, without the voices of friends and family echoing in my head.
This concept brings me to the question of the day: How much of what we do is shaped by our own decision making abilities and how much is because of others opinions? And furthermore, do we ever really make our own decisions? Or are we doomed to always hear the warnings of our mothers, our fathers, our family and our friends, in every major life decision we make?

i think that the question should be "do we ever make decitions that aren't influenced by others" and i think the answer is no. but i don't think that's bad. i think our decision making ablilties are based on what we've learned from others opinions and our own life experience. in the same way, those that influence us have been influenced by others. our mothers and fathers and friends have the same decision making abilities that we do, but the "warn" is how their parents and friends have influenced them.
ok. my brain just stopped thinking. l8
well, if we couldn't make our own decisions, we'd al; be the same... right?
