But the question is, just because one is able - just because one has *options* - is that "better"? Whether the man chooses to lift the tree from the dying children, or not, he still feels the burden of the choice when, years later, one of the children kills 7 nuns and an ice-cream vendor. Perhaps the man should have instead saved his drowning wife instead of the children?

You may begin now to see the connection between "being strong" and Fate. The perception of strength gives some the percerption of choice, but really - does either really exist?

And so he bleeds.
