That is a matter of opinion. The author of the bestseller” The power of now” says that its futile to tell anybody that he has a “choice” because choices are matterso of conditioing over which the indiidual has no direct control.
Jsut as you can choose your friends but not your relatives, there is a free will involved in making a choice at certain instancs but destiny too has a significant role.

Hiren, honestly I do think that we have a choice. Except it can be hard to go against your conditioning or expectations but it is certainly a choice. Regarding choice of friends and relatives, you can always distance yourself from irritating relatives. It might be socially looked down upon but certainly do-able.

You have a point about relatives but saying in general that you have a choice is actually more of a fashion. How you think at any given point of time depends on your experiences and that is what makes your so called choice.
In case you are unaware, J.krishnamurthy, after sixty years of lecturing admitted failure in getting people to drop their conditionings and as far as I know, he is the most brilliant intellectual I know.
I don’t know what your age is but one should probe very deeply before talking about matters like choice. Good day.

Hiren, my age shouldn’t matter. As you mentioned J Krishnamurthy admitted failure in getting people to drop their conditioning but that doesn’t mean that ‘dropping the conditioning’ is in itself a bad thing. People probably were just not ready to do it. No one said, it is easy. And I am not saying exercising a choice is good because “it is in fashion”, I say it because I have done it once.
