we are like plants (part3)

Plants live there all his life, where he grew up and died by their ancestors. Can happen if the seed the wind carries on more fertile soil in the best climate. But it's not up to you. Where you grew up – there is doomed to live life.
Animals have capabilities anymore. They can migrate, and do according seasons, drought and rain – in order to secure a more prosperous life. But the animals can't change their way of life. They have the right instincts. Birds also build nests, as well for food like their ancestors. And never a Sparrow can't sing like a Nightingale, even if his voice box allows it to him.
As for the man, it not only can move from place to place, it can all change in my life anything. He can live anywhere in any country. He can choose any occupation. It can be creative, it can help people and delight them. He can earn any amount of money, or treat money indifferently. He can build any housing itself. He can create a family with a loved one. Or not create. He can have children or not have. He can choose any religion and any social circle. And most importantly and amazing – it can change yourself and your habits. It can get rid of why it is bad, and to learn why he is well.
Why, having the opportunity is incomparably greater than that of animals, some of us live like a plant? Or even as a cut tree – limp floating on the river?!
Yes, the gift of limitless freedom which we have, includes the ability to do nothing for themselves. But it is a choice someone makes him, and not debt! And this choice is, frankly, stupid and unprofitable. Why choose the worst, if we are the best? At least much better than what we have now.
I'm always surprised when people, still quite young, respond to an offer to change something in his life: "What can you do? So I'm a man
Second, even if you were "a" who said you have to stay "this" life? You, even if you do not want it, will change throughout life. And if you want – will change faster in the desired direction. With you will change your life.
There are human qualities that are little amenable to change. For example, temperament. But what we call nature, can change, and change is necessary. Because the character is a set of good and bad habits, partly inherited, partly acquired in their lifetime. And as you overcome these qualities that bring suffering, and all our evil causes us to suffer, man becomes happier.
You don't have to repeat the lives of their parents, going after them as the wagon behind the locomotive on the rails, if this life you do not like. Izzhivaya its shortcomings, you will get rid of that part of the parental heritage, which is not desired. (Just don't judge the parents for their shortcomings and thank them for all that is good.) Look around and see how often similar in early childhood, brothers and sisters live very different lives, become very different people (one good, one evil, one happy, the other not). This is the result of personal choice.
Many believe that suicide is an escape. Yes, I think so. But don't escape from prison, but quite the contrary. Suicide is escape from the will in jail!
Because here we are free. Free to change the circumstances, change themselves, to become happy. And there, where we run, we forever will be alone with their problems, with himself. Hell is a prison where a very cruel and vile tourenski, a prison from which no escape. A prison where there are no amnesties.
