Judgement

With judgement naturally follows responsibility.

I want to make choices,true. but I cannot see the consequences so I try to get advice from someone who does.

I have a greater respect for eve's choice to eat the fuit in order tomake all of the consequrnces be desireable. I endure a like problem. I found someone that I thinkthat I would be happier with, and I was commanded to be happy. but I am also leaning towards keeping promises that I already made, even though my husband doesn't love me.

I saw an outer limits episode yesterday with a similar dilemma, a woman was not loved by her husband and she had another choice, I wish I'd stayed to see the conseqeunce, but I figured that I got enough by watching the actors eyes. they telegraphed the whole thing.

Anyway, i don't have a choice in that my husband is divorcing me for no reason, but I think it is because he doesn't want to providefor me or the children, he was fine when I was ok, but when I got ill, it became too much for him. My choice is do i want to remain seled to him forever? it is a long time. enough time for him to come to his senses, or do I want to obey the commandment to be happy. I need to figure out a way to do them all.

"I could be making no choices whatsoever."

That song is in my head. but I don't believe in determinism. I believe in soft determinism. I think it isevident that certain things will happen, but the one making a choice soesn't knowthat, so they are still making a choice.

It makes me think on the story of how Peter betrayed Christ. Now it was known before hand what he would do. I bet the consequence was needed to form who he would become, but even when told what he would do he denied it. Very interestng that it would be included in our cannon of scripture it must be an example to teach us a truth.
