Choices...

Do you suppose that life requires choices?

I mean - so many times in my life I've been looking for a job for instance. Sometimes even desperately looking. And I find one. And immediately thereafter another one pops in. And sometimes even another. It requires a choice. Why is that? Is it just the "luck of the draw"? Why is it that in normal life we don't have to make these choices.

I guess it's possible that it's only because I'm LOOKING for a job, or some other venture that causes a choice to be made. I wonder though.

A specific instance: some years ago I had been sniffing around a new job, trying to get that company to hire me. It had been like that for some time, over a year. Finally, I was given the go ahead, I had a job! So .. I went to give my old boss my notice. He was very unhappy to hear that I wanted to leave - it turned out that he had been working for some months to get me a promotion and had finally just gotten notification that it was available and he could give me a new job with much better pay.

So - decision time. "Do I stay or do I go?"

I guess life is decisions. Sometimes I wonder about all the coincidences.

It must take a lot of faith to remain an atheist. I don't think I could ever believe so firmly in nothing that I could stop believing in God.

Why does it seem to be an easier choice to believe in nothing? The whole WORLD shouts of being intelligently made.

Maybe we that believe have it easier than we thought, eh?
