Our choices are different, but that doesn't mean we have the right to judge other people's choices

Today I'm tired of eating satay, the seasoning is too sticky in the mouth. But why is the chicken satay stall never empty of buyers? Today I'm tired of eating fried chicken, but in fact there are still many people who are willing to stand in long lines to eat it? For the last time I also say, on this cold day, I also don't want to eat fried rice anymore.

Too much oil. Then I decided to walk into a Chinese food stall, and I ordered a portion of capcay which was poured over rice. Wow so delicious. This is the best and most appropriate food to choose. But, why aren't many people here?

Then I began to realize, in this city I am not the only one who lives and has an appetite. Everyone who lives in this city has the right to choose which foods they like. I have no right to ask why one place to eat is crowded and another (which I have chosen) is deserted. Everyone has the right to choose. They each have their own free will.

And if just asking is not advisable, the more so for interfering with everyone's choices by making judgmental statements. That's a big mistake. It violates everyone's right of free will.

Likewise in this life cycle, often because we feel we are getting too close to a friend or even our lover, we finally start to act as if we have a great right to interrupt their whole life. Then, if their choice is not to our heart's desire, we will boldly begin to speak out. We start just asking questions, until finally we start dictating which ends in judgmental statements. Pity.

Every choice has a risk. And when we really understand this, we will not speak much about other people's choices even to the point of uttering words of judgment. It's true, in this millennial era, the choices the world has to offer are so diverse and strange. But that is not a legal reason for us to start interfering with their choices which are (perhaps) for us "weird" and should not be made an option.

We can't even stay away from someone because his choices (thoughts) are not the same as ours. Because basically humans were created not to hate, judge, or bring down each other, but rather, to be loved and to love. We need to accept with an open heart full of love and generosity everyone who comes to us with thoughts and even choices that are completely different from ours, especially those that feel very, very “weird.”

By welcoming everyone who is different from us, sometimes it can give us the opportunity to have a voice from time to time by giving wise advice on their choices and thoughts. But, if that's not accepted and seen as something they should listen to, don't be discouraged. Keep receiving them when they come to us again.

Because once again, every choice has a risk. If someone is really wrong in using their free will and choosing things that shouldn't be chosen, then the risk in the form of a heavy end result (output) that makes their life in the future more difficult for them to live. But it's better, it's not us who causes the person to be close to the risk that complicates their life.

It is not our right to regulate people's choices, until we finally impose our will, even though we are the wisest people on this earth. Everyone has free will and has the right to make their own choices in life. Leave it to the Creator who is very capable of turning human hearts, and interrupting every choice of human life, if indeed it is not in line with God's will.
