Free Will

... Its a wonderful thing. You always have the choice. You just hope you'd made the right choice when you look back at it. However, if you had made the choice knowing fully of all the consequences and all the ramifications in spite of the selfish transient needs and wants, well, you'd be perfect person and cease to be human, I guess. I do not know.

I had exercised my free will which eventually jeopardized a friendship. Would I still do it knowing what I know now? Probably not. But, when I was faced with the situation, I made the decision thinking it wasn't such a big deal and I made the choice. Therefore, I do NOT have any regrets. I shall live with the outcome. I have no problems with it. That's the way the cookie crumbled. If the result of me making that choice was the loss of a good friendship, then so be it. My friend (not so much now, anyway) had rightfully pointed out to me... "You knew how this would affect me, but still you went ahead with it anyway." True. And I shall live with it. I put a good friendship in jeopardy by putting my selfish wants ahead of what is good and decent. Therefore, I do not deserve the friendship. As you sow, so shall you reap! I am comfortable with the fact that I made a conscious decision and I solely am responsible for what comes out of it.
