What is my Future?

We, humans have choices in every moment of our lives. These choices are related to the most simple and to the most complicated matters in life: from choosing the colours of clothes and lime of waking, studying and playing, to choosing the way in which we will live our lives.

It is these choices that distinguish humans from other creatures. Other creatures can make choices: consider a lion that is sitting in ambush of several deer. It then selects one and attacks it. However, the scope of choice of an animal is limited to its instincts and it chooses things that do not cause harm. This is because the tendencies of the animal arc natural and material tendencies: it chooses whatever is more beneficial to it. It selects its prey according to which is more delicious and performs actions which do not endanger its life.

The human, however, as has been indicated possesses two kinds of tendencies: 1) instinctive tendencies and 2) natural tendencies. Instinctive tendencies are related to man’s material aspects and natural tendencies are connected to his immaterial aspects.

Sometimes these two tendencies contradict one another When you are hungry and you only have enough food for one person and you see another person who is in need of food, your instinct tells you to eat the food; at the same time your nature tells you to give some of the food to the needy person, even though by giving some of the food you will not be completely full. But. is there such a choice among animals? Would animals give preference to spiritual considerations over material desires?

Over and over again in life, we find ourselves confronted with a puzzling range of choices. The first question that comes to our mind is: What should I do? And, which way should I choose? Words such as: what, why, and how, show well our choices and willpower. Between material and spiritual tendencies, all humans have the power to choose the best and most equitable option.These two tendencies in the human have caused him to be an autonomous being which plans its own future. Accordingly, all humans must gather information to make the best choices because he will in future be responsible for those decisions.
