Nobody's 'choice' was involved.
That 'we' ever 'chose' to do anything in this or any other decade is a ludicrous concept, to me at any rate.
Didn't you choose to come to Cambodia and live your life how you wanted it?
Joking apart, it really would depend on which 'I' of the multiplicity of 'I's, 'you' were referring to. Do you refer to the 'I' that thinks 'I' am in control of every decision 'I' appear to make? Or do you refer to the poster that 'I' have 'chosen' to call 'springrain' (a name that I like and feel comfortable with)?
Back to the nitty gritty, 'I' am not sure whether 'I' have lived 'my' life how 'I' wanted 'it'. What did 'I' even 'want'?
Are you, poster 'scobienz' (or poster 'Edwardo' for that matter) totally sure that 'you' are in sole charge of what 'you' 'choose' to do?
I know neither of 'you' will like this kind of semantics, so I'll put it in plain English:
The OP referred to 'we choose'. I find this sort of bland statement so vague; so devoid of 'meaning'. That is why I responded in such a way.
