Freewill

You know God’s best gift to us? – Freewill!  We are nothing but our decisions. What we decide today will tread our path for our future.

There is something interesting about the objective examinations (as many certifications I have appeared for in the recent past). The questions aren't the toughest part anymore; the answers are! The answers would all be seemingly correct! But you are expected to pick the BEST out of them. There is definitely just one correct answer that the examiner is looking for to be ticked by you. And how do you do it – One, you've either mugged up the book, second you know the keywords. Experience counts too at times. And you've nailed it.

But god (supposedly) made it much simpler for life (or so he thought he was doing!) – All the options given are correct, equally correct, mind you. You have all the rights in the world to pick the answer you want and take it up from there. Talk of freewill! They would just lead to different paths. No negative marking! Nice na? You make or you break. That is one reason I miss my school/college days. We didn't get to exercise our freewill too much. Decisions were made for us. You didn't get to bear the brunt! Life was simple.
