We are all here by choice. Our own choice. For anyone who wants to leave, there are very effective ways to quit this game called "life".

Anyone who doesn't quit is here because they chose to stay. Period. It really is that simple.

Trying to look at the conditions we were born under (nearly 5 decades ago in my case) doesn't give us the means to do anything effective. What matters is here and now. We are here. Now we must decide to live the best that we can, or quit.

The choice is ours. Not our mother's, nor lawmakers, nor society's. Ours. Take responsibility for your life and do something with it.
