Capitulo 3:Do what you want

Sometimes we are free to decide whether we follow someone else's orders.The most important think of this is to be aware of what,and why we decide it. We should think twice before taking our decisions. Because in some cases they can hurt someone in any way. The example that Savater told Amador about the soldier makes me feel ... so uncomfortable, you know.. Ican't believe that he obey these orders without questioning,he killed people like him like us, but of course most of us know that there a lot of terrible examples about this situations.It terrible!

Savater's point, precisely, is that we are ALWAYS free to choose whether to follow an order or not, Marucha. I know the example of the soldier sent to kill can be quite upsetting, but it can be more helpful to reflect upon the orders each of us chooses to follow each day.

Think about the day just finished, for instance. What "orders" did you keep? Were you aware of the choices you were making? In other words, was your day plentiful of human acts, or was it just a sequence of routines, whims and orders?

Let us know!

Humans need to learn to take decisions,as part of their growing up.we learn to make decisions without always following orders, habits or whims. I know that in some circumstances we follow them we need to realize that we have more freedom to choose how we want to live.But I believe that as long as we can choose freely, we are responsible of our choices.
And I feel that this is one of the hardest, yet most gratifying, things to learn when becoming an adult, a professional.
