Having stated truth I also ask questions that are more transitory and of a pithy nature. Having made the supreme choice, how many other choices do I have? Say for instance our friends, I can choose to try to spend time with some and I can choose to not spend time with others. Ultimately the choice of relationship building is a mutual one. A decision of afirmation made by both parties. One can choose individual constructive actions but their lasting merit is based on the validation by another. So beneath that retoric is a loaded question. How will you choose to respond to others? Will you choose to step beyond the shallow into that which is more meaningful? Or will you choose something else, to ignore… to isolate… to anathematize… The choice is ours to make.
