I just wrote something similar to FB. Your point about getting cancer not being a choice is excellent. It puts a lot of things in perspective.

My hubby and I CHOOSE to live in a more expensive building/neighborhood because of the conveniences it affords us in commuting and living in a more upscale neighborhood and being close to the city etc etc etc.

I'm out of a job and have been for 8 months. It's my CHOICE to wait for a good position near a place I can commute to using public transport, versus buying a car anticipating a project that might require travel or not. My CHOICE to wait it out (with hubby's approval) for a job in the current area so we don't have to live apart again.

CHOICE. And RESPONSIBILITY.

I agree that people choose where they live.

Thanks for the mention!

I think you're right: It's about making choices. And if they turn out to be bad, own up to it. Say, "Okay that didn't turn out well and here's what I'll do differently next time." But take responsibility for goodness sake!
