Yeah in a way but it's pretty nuanced.

You do always have a choice. If you surrender that you become...inhuman...I think. Because you've said: "Now this thing I've done, is not my fault." Then you go around looking for other people to blame, which makes you a monster.

To be more clear (which is useful I think): it's not your choice what the world presents to you, but you choose how you respond always.

As long as you're not unconscious of course. If your mind is there, you're choosing.

But ultimately where you come down on that is up to you. I guess it comes down to: with how much integrity do you plan to live? :)

There could be some edge cases, but it's important to remember how valid that is for the majority of experience.

I didn't start it like this, but that got dark quick hahahah! :)
