Stu, that is 100% spot on correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refresh my memory. If I remember our previous exchanges correctly, you and I are as far as any two people can get as it applies to the opposite ends of the spectrum.

However, the nature of fairness withn competition, social cohesivness, and respect for others, mandates that rules of transfer and competition must be established. There are consiquences for your Free Will choices. Free Will does demand responsibility and consequence of action. So if you made the wrong choice, consequence, even suffering, teaches that respect for others. It is truly hard to believe that you believe this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I believe that Free Will does demand responsibility and consequence of action. So if you made the wrong choice, consequence, even suffering, teaches wisdom and respect for others. And if you learn to take failure with grace, deeper appreciation for success will materialize. Yes I believe that to the core of my soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you made the right choice to march corps A one year, and then you made another right choice to march corps B the next year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my comment was in direct reference to what if a youth actually did make the wrong choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
