Choice. How exactly can
this term be defined? In the Oxford student’s dictionary, “a choice is an act
of choosing between two or more people or things”. Jean Paul Sartre, A French
philosopher, speaks about the freedom of Choice. According to Sartre, human
beings are free to choose. We are not determined, which implies that we are
what we make of ourselves or what we choose to be. However Sartre was an
atheist, his philosophy can apply to many, if not to all human beings. It is
good to keep in mind that the presence of choice is parallel to commitment.
When one makes a choice, he/she should be committed to it.
Whatever one chooses, it is
good. But let it be clear on the other hand. By saying individual’s choices are
good; one should also consider the other person. This is very evident to us. By
the fact that we are striving each day it shows that we make choices including
the choice to planning the future.
We can all agree that being
in Lavigerie house it is a choice. Choosing to follow Christ is a choice. We
are all invited to follow Him but it is upon oneself; each one of us to accept
Him into our lives. We believe that God called us to proclaim his gospel to the
entire nations and this choice invites us to be committed and responsible for
all involved.
