What Choice Do I Have

The rain falls to the ground and moistens the earth. Portions of the terrain produce lovely flowers and vegetation, while other areas having received the same rain produces briers and thistles. How come?

The same twenty-four hours are afforded each person. A portion of the population stretches and grows becoming productive citizens, while others plot and scheme to gain for themselves something that's not theirs. How come?

Some might conclude fatalism, while others might attribute the influence of a misdirected childhood. Some might blame everyone else for personal circumstance, while others accept the responsibility for their action.

"The devil made me do it." "That's how I was raised." It's not my fault." "You can't blame me for that."

"It was my mistake." I'm sorry I failed you." "What can I do to make it up to you." "There is no excuse for my behavior."

The same sun shines, the same rain falls, the same twenty-four hours dawns daily. It's time for the soil to produce results rather than briers that produce excuse.
