Would you rather have a choice, and the power to make every decision to every event or problem you come across, or would you rather have some one else have controll over you and your choices.
With choice, you make mistakes, which can lead to more choices, and more mistakes. But you have freedom, also the freedom to fail.
With controll, (lets pretend this isnt Stalin with the controll) you never have to make a bad decision, and everything runs as it should. You dont have freedom, but you dont have failure either.
So, which one?

Choice. If we ddint make mistakes how would we learn what to do and what not do? Hoow to act in a certain situation or how not to atc in a situation? If we neer made mistakes we would never learn and we would all perfect little kids that have no freedom. I have the choice to make good and bad descisions and im dman proud of it!

"Everybody learns from their mistakes." If I made a bad choice, oh well, I wouldn't do it again. =D

Choice is democracy, while control is either dictatorship or possibly socialism (though in theory socialism isn't realy a dictatorship, just ends up that way).

Well, you stated that everything should go allright with someone else in control. But pretty much all the instances of monarchy or communism hasnt worked out - and ended in revolution. I chose freedom, I think people should control the fate of their own lives and not let other people control it for them.

is this a political ploy to see if we would want to be communist?

I would like CHOICE because it's your decision and now else to blame if it ends up something bad and you can congradulate yourself if it ends up something good.

Control, you have the freedom to succeed in everything that you do. At least in the way you worded it.
Failure is counter productive, in this scenario one already knows what the right path is. Its not realistic but apparently with control one never makes mistakes nor bad decisions, so in that logic it could be said that with control you are essentially perfect.
Or did i interpret that wrong?

you cannot be perfect under a controled environment unless the controler has 100% absolute control and the controler is perfect. as we are humans this is never the case, as humans are never 100% perfect and we never realy give 100% control to someone else (can be interp. as never follow orders 100%).
