We Always Have A Choice

No matter what happens, we always have a choice. Even when it seems that there is no option, there is always something else that can be done. What happens in our lives is the result of decisions that we make. This list of quotes about choice reminds us to make the correct choice.

"Even though, when you fall the journey becomes longer, the reward to getting up is that you become stronger."

"The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible."
 
Man, that's good to hear! I was thinking I had no choice but to die someday.... It's nice to know I have a Plan B to fall back on.

Now, what is this Plan B, just in case I need to know in a hurry?
 
You may not always have a choice, but you can decide the attitude with which to meet your fate. I'm paraphrasing Viktor Frankl, who I just finished a report about (well, it was about Existentialist Psychotherapy anyhow)

A tip: don't ever tell someone dying of cancer that they have a choice in the matter. They will get awfully mad.

PS. I vote for vampire over zombie. More sex appeal.
 
I vote vampire over zombie. More brains! I can have a worthwhile conversation with a vampire even if its EEEEPP!

This from the gal who drives the zombie truck. ( Hubby's idea! )

So the choices are to either be dead or undead? Lovely........ :rolleyes:

Do the undead have to pay taxes for all eternity?

I'm not sure how well I'll take to the limited dietary requirements, neither...

Maybe I'll just resign myself to dying and see what is on the other side.
 
Am I the only one who thinks vampires are icky? I mean, I know they are incredibly popular right now and all, but UGH! ;)
 
You might be the only one, Karoni.
I've loved the sex appeal of vampires since I first read Dracula when I was 8.
I was the strange goth child that grew into a stranger-but-really-cool adult.

You know I always wondered about that in Twilight. If they have all this money from Carlisle being an awesome Vampire surgeon for 400 years, how is it no one finds them out? Wouldn't banks start to get suspicious if large amounts of funds were transferred into other accounts? Wouldn't they connect the dots? Maybe there are no banks. Maybe the Cullens bury their cash in the woods, or have a hidden vault in their house.
 
My choice?

I choose you, Pikachu!

Yeah, I agree. But it's all fantasy stuff. Entertaining to watch and read, but if they were real, they would be exterminated for certain. Humanity does not treat predators, especially predators on humans, very kindly.
 
I have always had a certain fascination with vampires, dating way back to Barnabas and Dark Shadows (such a LONG time ago!).

Can you imagine how the politicians could use this to further their careers? Imagine a whole class of "people" who can pay taxes forever, will never need Medicare, and probably won't ever collect Social Security, because they can't prove their age?? Imagine taxpayers who will never get sick, but if they ever have a "health" problem (such as a stake or sunlight), they will just go "poof" and not need anything from the government? There would probably be a tax break for becoming a vampire, lol!
 
Ha! So not only can you be a cool vampire, but you will also get a tax break!!

Sounds like a deal to me.

I LOVE LOVE Dark Shadows.
 
In my world, vampires HATE vegans and vegetarians. Their blood tastes like rice cakes and Tab would to us. So if you wanna be vampire proof, become a vegetarian.

But hey what's the point? I LOVE my dead beasties. Guess I just like to live dangerously.

And BTW Barnabas Collins RULES!

I guess vampires WOULD hate vegans with a high garlic diet..... :laugh:
 
Wait, I thought we already had blood sucking parasites running rampant through our society.

They're called politicians aren't they?
