Choices

Not all choices are stark. 
They are not all ones of life or death.
Yet all point us in a direction in the end. Whether we intend them to or not. The need to take a specific option may sometimes seem unnecessary, even ridiculous, some decisions can be made without a moment's hesitation, may hardly feel like choices at all. Yet there are those who would have us believe, every one sets in spate a parallel universe of possibilities... and perhaps this is exactly how it goes. 
How many times have choices apparently led to amazing coincidences? Or chance meetings and events have occurred which change entire lives and all because of an insignificant selection, perhaps as simple a thought as whether to turn left or right... or even what to wear today? 
Admittedly, some choices are vast. They are monumental and can be terrifying. They have immeasurable impact. Some are life changers, game changers, planet changers... like where to put the cross on that election ballot paper, who to marry, whose life to save, and whether or not we should go to war. Some may cause hurt, pain or suffering, others give relief. We may agonise for hours about moral dilemmas; or truth; or fear; and the implications of what we choose to do. Yet, one thing is obvious, it is the ability of all choices, no matter how seemingly insignificant, to affect whatever outcome our lives may receive as a result. This is truly is mind blowing...
