"Choice" is used in a very strict sense of the word -- to "choose" is to select freely, after due consideration, among the available alternatives. AND, there is only one alternative. It's NOT choice like in the grocery store. In a philosophical dictionary, this is referred to as "existential choice." You don't feel any better after choosing to feel when you feel . However, you no longer go around feeling and thinking that it s h o u l d be some way other than it is. You just feel and know that that is the way that it is. You cut down on a lot of the mischief that leaves us wondering what went wrong. Talk to some of the folks with whom you work -- you'll find that there are people around you who "have done est", "enjoyed LifeSpring", "engaged in the Forum" and are a lot more satisfied with life after having had the experience.
