We Make Choices And Are In Turn

It's Easy To Assume People Are Conforming When We Witness Them All Choosing The Same Option, But When We Choose That Very Option Ourselves, We Have No Shortage Of Perfectly Good Reasons For Why We Just Happen To Be Doing The Same Thing As Those Other People; They Mindlessly Conform, But We Mindfully Choose. This Doesn't Mean That We're All Conformists In Denial. It Means That We Regularly Fail To Recognize That Others' Thoughts And Behaviors Are Just As Complex And Varied As Our Own. Rather Than Being Alone In A Crowd Of Sheep, We're All Individuals In Sheep's Clothing.

When I Do Have Choice I Try To Be Very Picky About... Or Shall I Say Choosey About When I Choose. I Don't Automatically Decide That I Must Be The One To Choose Or That It's Important For Me To Make Every Choice In My Life.

I Don't Know If I Approach Choice Any Differently Than The Sighted People Do, But What I Am Very Cognizant Of Is That Choice Does Have Limits And Because Of That I Really Try To Take Advantage Of The Domains In Which I Do Have Choice.

I Mean It Wasn't That They Sat Around Thinking Oh Gosh I Needed More Choices In My Grocery Stores The Way I Had Come To Think About It As An American Growing Up.

There Is A Different Attitude About, You Know, How Much Differentiation There Needs To Be Between Our Options And How Many Choices Do I Need To Have In Order To Make A Choice.
