Each person has different ideas about what is important and what makes them feel best. Making my
own choices about the things I do is very important because it gives my life meaning. Making choices
about what is important to you helps you be more independent and in charge of your life.

nothing in order to avoid further arguments or fights which actually do not lead to anything

rationally tend to be more sustainable. Decision-making is not a easy process especially at high
stakes. The important thing to note is that, our freedom to make choices shouldn't be taken for
granted, so we should dedicate time to self-reflect over them.
