I came across two types of people at times, either they think that there is no choice at all, but only fate. Or they consider choice being the dignity of human, with that we conquer anything.

The first group of people can either be a pessimist or an optimist; although I cannot agree on the fate-only talk, I think this group of people see certain truth about life.

The latter group of people, who indulge themselves in the dignity of human, ignored an important essence of choice itself.

The pure form of choice is options having equal weight. If options carry different weights, where one is inclined to choose the heaviest one, the choice is actually determined.

We make many of these determined choices everyday, from the choice of coffee or tea to the choice of which career to pursue.

But what's the big deal about determined choices, then? My dog chooses freely everyday rather to pee in his toilet or in the middle of our living room, too. We still have a hard time trying to figure out a way to determine his urination habit.

His choice of pee location sounded freer then my inclined choice for coffee upon breakfast.

Yet, there are certain pure choices we all have to make at certain point of our lives. We necessarily make the choice arbitrarily, because all options carry equal weight and we simply don't know how to choose.

More often than not, critical choices in life are pure choices. And there lies the true freedom, the human dignity we treasure.

The real free choices are those we simply don't know how to choose.
