Choice or Chance?

Is falling in Love, Chance or Choice? I think they are omnipresent. Without chance, how would we ever meet the person who is destined to be our other half? Once chance smiles at us and unites us with our mate, its our choice as to whether we want to hold on or give up on our love.

Human nature is to err and then find something/someone to be accountable for that mistake... But before we begin blaming circumstances, I guess we ought to ask ourselves, deep within how much we love this someone, is he/she so important that they precede ourselves.

Are we willing to sacrifice ourselves, to give up our liberty, surrender our luxuries and compromise our hitherto un-bridled(current unrestrained) lifestyles?

When you decide to love a person knowing his/her faults, thats not chance.Thats choice.

Even when you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, richer than your mate, yet you decide to love your mate just the same, that's choice. How oxymoronic that this choice came about through chance to start off with...

We meet many people in our lives and eventually, we will meet that special someone who will pull our heartstrings, sometimes even without our knowing. This is Chance. However, upon meeting that someone, there will come a time when we decide to be with that him/her or not. That is Choice.

What do you think? Do you think we get the option of choosing the person we love and be with?
