Human being is entitled with many Choices in his/her life. The Choice is present regardless of one’s social or economic status. The Choice or the selection process is not so severe until you cross the child-stage. As soon as you become conscious of the happenings in your life, the problems start to take hold on you. You have to choose the appropriate subject, course of study with many difficulties in making your choice. Problem in making Choice is intense until you finish your academic pursuit. You are supposed to coincide with your’s as well as your parent’s expectations regarding your academic pursuit. During the path of your carrier, you tend to make many mistakes and the end result of those mistakes would be visible afterwards and also you would never be able to know what the real cause was.
At the next phase, you begin exploring between the choices and opportunities according to the “perceived expertise” you have. Most of you get distressed and frustrated due to not getting the appropriate work according to the academic investment you made earlier. Even if you get it, it is completely new and alien in many cases which don’t suit to your qualification. Most of the time, you will get the underpaid and undeserving works. Sometimes you sleep out of your age to get the appropriate job due to over consumption of time or fail-Choices.
Then it is the time for your marriage. Marriage depends on what are you do at present? What is your profession? What is the social status? How do you look etc. If you don’t have good score in these things you are liable to get rejected often or land up getting a bad spouse. In many cases, you tend to make mistake in ‘choosing out of your Choices’. You can hardly find the partner of your dream or you long in your heart. Eventually, in many cases, you will fail in your marriage resulting either separation or you live with regrets and sorrows throughout your life.
When it is the time to bear children you have difficulties in delivering decision at what stage should have the children. You may have two main Choices- early so that you will be looked after at the old age or wait until you are capable to provide quality education and upbringing to them. If you chose the former, you may have to compromise between your earning and education of your child. You are always pressurized to provide an costly education to your child beyond your earning. Which makes you severely frustrated at many times. The upbringing will become much more challenging in the case of your child than you had in your childhood. Sometimes failing in deciding the numbers also make difficulties.
The life rolls down with the different Choices and duties you have to execute. With all these in your mind you suddenly breathe your last breath with several regrets of Choices, unfulfilled desires, wants and expectations onto your head. The times passes on with its fullest speed, nobody has ability to interrupt its steady speed!! The mighty God had something on His mind so you comply and abide with his interest.
