The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Research Magnificent by H. G. Wells: apparently pure choice. It is quite easy to think we are all going
to choose the pattern of life we like best and work it out in our
own way. . . . And, meanwhile, there is no great hurry. . . .
"I want to begin by saying that choice isn't so easy and so
necessary as it seems. We think we are going to choose presently,
and in the end we may never choose at all. Choice needs perhaps
more energy than we think. The great multitude of older people we
can observe in the world outside there, haven't chosen either in the
matter of the world outside, where they shall go, what they shall
do, what part they shall play, or in the matter of the world within,
what they will be and what they are determined they will never be.
