Free Agency

Agency is a gift that is taken for granted on a daily basis. Some of us fool ourselves in thinking that since we have agency it doesn't matter what choices we make. This is a false assumption. The choices we make does not only affect and effect the consequences that will befall us as individuals, but also those around us presently, and others in the future. It is a domino effect, and when not handled responsibly can have unhappy endings. The saying goes "we reap what we sow" if we plant bad seeds the outcome will be rotten tomatoes. If we don't' nurture the seeds that we plant, our garden can be over run with weeds, choking anything good and ripe, before it had a chance. We also need to remember that as we have agency so does everyone else. And though it hurts to see those we love, make wrong choices over and over again...that is their right to do so. So...in conclusion to my thought...there is another phrase that we have heard one time or another; "Let it begin with me". Let us all be responsible for how we use our agency, the more responsible we are the better our life gardens will be.
