Choice "Circles"

Why do we blame “GOD” for our choices?

From the beginning, there was choice. There will always be choice. Choices affect outcomes in life. Simple law. So why do we keep blaming someone or something else for choices made?

In the beginning, from the bible standpoint, choices only affected two people – Adam and Eve. Choose knowledge and the soul consciousness of “good” and “evil”, or remain in simple existence like the creatures of the forest

As more births came and populations grew, choices affected more and more people. As people became towns, cities, countries, and nations through time, each choice intertwined more and more the consequences of our choices with those around us.

The world is made up of “choice circles”.

Choice circles are what rule our lives. A choice circle is like the ripple in a pond created by the cast of a stone. That cast stone is your action, and the pond is life.

So... Whatever God you pray to – DO NOT SET BLAME ON YOUR GOD for the choices made by mankind.

This world is a “world of worlds” – defined and perceived by every individual. Each world is in the mind of each of us. Our perceptions and our own personal values determine how we behave and interact with others.

Where institutionalized religions guide our values, we, each, set those values on a personal basis. Choices based on those values ingrained within each of us is what drives each of us to our actions. These choices are our own to make.

You cannot blame your God for the choices that you make. Through all the religions, myths, and legends of time, choice is left to mankind to make. Gods do not choose our actions for us. We are left to our choices and they determine our actions and the consequences for them.

And with more choices come more ripples in the pond of life. Watch how the ripples in a pond circle out and bump into each other's waves. How they distort each other into a new wave from different ripples, traveling in a new direction caused by the different ripples. This is the same way different ripples from different choices create new ripples that distort from original intentions. This is the interaction of “choice circles” - new ripples created from more than one choice, often known as an “accident”.

Take the following scenario:

Your child is late for an event. You drive faster than the speed limit to get them on time to the event. Another parent doesn't supervise their youngster on a tricycle in the front yard. The child rides, suddenly, into the street. You don't have enough time to avoid hitting the child...
A poor little child's life is extinguished or irreparably damaged.

Two seemingly harmless poor choices? One terrible life changing incident for an innocent child.
This is a simple scenario of choices creating a new ripple. Multiply this scenario with smaller choices by a few or ten or a hundred. How many ripples can be created from the small bad choices of tens or thousands of bad choices?

Your everyday choice matters! You think it doesn't but it does! Choose to do what is safe, rather than what is expedient or convenient. Choose to do what is right, rather than wrong. No matter how small the decision. All choices affect the ripples around you and your loved ones. All choices affect everyone by the ripples they create and the ripples that they collide with. Look around you and consider every “accident” that was a result of many tiny bad choices that added up.

Do not ignore a bad choice simply because it seems to be of no great importance. Place importance on making valuable choices, not receiving value from them. Then you will truly find the value in making good choices. When you have time to avoid accidents that may have occurred due to a small poor choice someone else made. Think of the possibilities. Think of the difference each of us can make by realizing the consequences of choice circles colliding.

Your choice is not alone. Every choice makes a difference.
