But free choise is often not true.


Depends.

Taking the "path" picture literally, Bilbo once said that every path you follow leads into the uknown - into unknown adventures, into lands far ahead ... so choose wisely which way you follow ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


First, you have to choose a road. Not choosing at all is worse than choosing the wrong path. Giving up is probably the "ugliest" way of expressing yourself (if giving up is a way of expression, as Gide tries to demonstrate). And we all know what stands at the basis of mediocrity, I guess. The lack of will, of courage, of curiosity. And, most of all, the following mentality: "Everything great is full of guilt"... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> As for me, I believe that man is free to do his bidding. He is freedom of action, not freedom of essence- I agree with that. But, if we can't tell for certain where one ends and the other begin, we can consider an absolute imperative the following idea: Use your freedom in order to touch FREEDOM!"
