Is LIFE a matter of destiny OR choice? Respond to the following discussion question in 3 sentences.

I believe in karma. I believe that I am responsible for my actions and that they will have a consequence. But I refuse to accept everything as an immutable burden.

For it is up to us to allow or maintain. Things, people, situations. Nothing comes or goes in vain.

Just as nothing goes away ahead of time. If it is still there it is because there is some learning. Or, sometimes, stubbornness. But still, even in stubbornness, there is a lesson. Blaming life, fate and sitting comfortably in the victim position is a bad choice. It only brings suffering and is a waste of precious time.

Accepting the situations that come to us and especially learning the lesson they bring is an act of great maturity and accelerates the painful processes. It is miraculous. It is an act of love for you and responsibility for your life.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.

what are the choices?
