“When you are aware of a fact that, whether you make a choice or not, a river of fate is not going to change its course, this glorified state is known as, ‘Choiceless Awareness’, in a language of spirituality; however the same deplorable state is known as, ‘Learned Helplessness’, in a language of psychiatry.”
Dr Hitesh C Sheth
“We do not choose to be born...We do not--most of us, choose to die, or the times or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live--Courageously or in cowardice, Honorably or dishonorably, With purpose or adrift. We decide what is important and what is trivial. What makes us significant is what we DO, Or REFUSE TO DO. WE DECIDE and WE CHOOSE--and so we give definition to our lives.”
Joseph Epstein
