The Freedom of Choice

Choices we make have influence in our lives. If life had no choices, the world we live in would have not existed. According to the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish books, Adam's apple is the reason why earth exists. During our life we face a huge amount of decisions we have to make, whether we think it's the right choice, or the wrong one to others point of view, everyone has the right to make their own decisions.

An interesting story in the Holly Quran about Adam and his choice to pick the apple. Although God ordered Adam not to eat from the tree, the devil tempted Adam to eat the apple. Therefore, Adam made up his mind and ate the apple. Adam had two options, but he chose to disobey God which resulted to punish Adam and send him down to Planet Earth. This shows that everyone has the freedom to make decisions, knowing to expect the consequences afterwards.

Choices were not made to be always right. However, if we were put in the same situation again, we would learn from our mistakes and try to fix the wrong decision we made. We don't know if Adam was put in the same situation again would choose not to eat the apple. Moreover, we don't know if choosing the apple was a mistake or not. However, what if Adam did not pick the apple? Would the world exist? We create the world we live in by our choices. According to the Quran, life is based on choices. Either going to heaven or hell, is based on what people choose, obeying God equals heaven, and disobeying equals hell.

To sum up, choices were not made to be always right. Therefore we learn from our mistakes and think twice before making a decision. What we choose is always up to us. We always expect good or bad consequences afterwards. The freedom of choice is the basis of our world.
