Choice - ' an act of choosing between two or more possibilities'.
Circumstance - 'a fact or event that makes a situation the way it is'.
Choices are not a given that one is born with. Choice's may be determined by your Circumstances.
Should you be born in an area remote to the world's resources, you are dependent upon the Choices of those made around you. These Choices may include access to medicine, housing, internet, education, transport, and influences. It is the Freedom to access these benefits that brings about Choice. A companies limitations on Freedom may limit you on the access you have to these Choices.
Should you be born in an area that has ready access to the riches of the world's resources, then your Choices are not limited by Circumstance. You have the Freedom to access medicine, housing, internet, education, transport and influences.
Use your Freedom of Choice. Next time you open your wardrobe, look at how you have chosen your clothes, shoes, and ties. Those with limited access to Freedom, Choice and Circumstance are waiting on you to show your support.
Freedom Comes About Through A Choice of a Given Circumstance/s.
Use Your Choices to Enable Freedom to Change Circumstances.
Go and examine your wardrobe - you have the freedom to make change.
