We Become Our Choices Poem by Joseph Narusiewicz

I hear this all the time, " this is what I am" but the truth is we also have choice and free will and many times what we have become is what we ourselves have chosen and then pretend fate made us like this. Do you believe a drug addict when he says, "This is what I am! This is how God made me? " or a child molester or a person who screws dogs or people who lay with their own sex or have threesomes etc? Of course not, right? We are all between good and evil, right and wrong, pride or humility, lust or love, cruelty or compassion.
When we begin to choose the lower side of our human nature that is what we become and we all are responsible for ourselves and will one day give account of how we lived. It is a great way of dismissing responsibility for our choices and actions when we say 'God made me like this' or I am just being myself while we break universal rules in the name of autonomy. When we are tempted and give into it we become darker so it starts to snowball and we go farther into behaviours that we ourselves have chosen. Then we like to forget and pretend this is who we are rather than what we have become with our bad choices thus pretending we are not responsible. One of the oldest games of self deception.Selfishness loves to parade itself as individuality. People who are wicked pretend they never have to give account and they find systems of ideology or earth pagan religions that let them justify their behavior and pride but they can never escape their inevitable death.
They reject the cross of Jesus Christ. The reason many people have no faith in God is they know deep in their heart that they have chosen to be selfish and evil. How did the universe or the big bang get here? Camus said in 'The Stranger' 'He stared at the benign difference of the universe' Post modern man teaches a watch is made by a watch maker while he exists in a universe in his lost alienated morose and calls it autonomy knowing this universe is really a great creation by a creator. He pretends there are no rules so he can live for pleasure and gold while loosing his own soul without guilt and shame. 'Light has come into the world but men have chosen darkness because their deeds are evil' Isn't it the truth? Joe
