The Choice
The Choice

If a stranger were to come to you my friend, and offer unto you a choice.
The kings shilling or the gentleman's crown, which would you choose?
Because no matter what ever your choice may be, it could affect your future life forever.
The same kind of offer could be for life or death, love or hatred, wealth or poverty, a career or slavery.
How would you reply?
Because no matter, what your choice may be others will see you as a person of either honor or dishonor.
But always remember your life is how you make it and not how others will make it for you.
For always remember it is not how or what you choose.
But how you would use your choice.
For life is, but just another of the mysteries in the vastness of the eternal universe.
A mystery that has an answer, but which mankind has yet to seek out that answer in the right time and place.

Robert Aitken

Tight writing and made for a great read! Loved the subtle philosophy. My fave, most powerful impressions made by: "For always remember it is not how or what you choose. But how you would use your choice."
