To be honest I’m not too sure what the title means: if it means people go along on cruise control for all or mist of their lives I can understand that up to a point but most people change and grow. Re choices, I think we all make choices but with constraints, after all if I want a new car it won’t be a Mercedes! And I think the concept of blame is useless as it tends to focus solely on the individual. Everyone makes wrong choices, that’s how we learn. But Ben Hadley, for me raises the question of evil. And I’m not sure how much that is down to choice.
