Taking The Third Option

You know what bothers me? The phrase “I had no choice.”

It’s total BS. There’s always a choice.

I mean, say some evil genius has New York hostage, and you’re the one who has to stop them, you find them, gun ready, then they tell you that if you shoot them, New York lives, your child dies.

Whatever choice you make, afterwards you’ll say “I had no choice.”

But there’s always a third option. You could put the gun to your head and blow your own brains out.

I never said the choice would be good, just that it exists.
