July 18, 2003 Chautauqua



From the Editor's Computer 

   Choices...we have all been faced with them, we have all made them, we have all made good and not so good ones, and we have all had good choices go bad because of someone else’s choice.

   Last week, I had the occasion to meet a young man who made a choice.  It was not a good choice.  It was not a well thought out choice.  It was an illegal choice.  It was a choice with major ramifications attached.  It was a choice that adversely affected others besides himself.

   Having made this choice, the young man is now faced with even more choices, and they are not going to be easy.  He is going to have to seriously think before he acts and make sure that he does not make a wrong move.  He certainly does not want to compound his bad choices at this stage in the game.

   Every choice we make affects not only ourselves, but others as well.  We have to be very careful when making choices in our lives.  More importantly, we need to look ahead to the possible ramifications of our choices, on ourselves and others.

   The choices you make can change the whole course of your life in a heartbeat.  Think before you act and pay attention to what you are doing.

   You have the choice.
