I'm wondering...are we the way we are by choice?
If so, how? If not, how not?
It seems like we tend to think that where our choices are involved, they should be applied towards the things that are bad about us. And, maybe we should use our agency where we can.
But, it’s hard not to notice that a lot of what we’re up against, in terms of being something that we’re not, is more related to something about our basic design (which we can still make some choices about, but probably not in an absolute sense).
All to say, what would constructive choices about the way I am really look like?
How can I be increasingly free to choose who I already am (rather than trying to be something I'm not)?
