choice

one's belief in the opportunity to choose seems fundamental, even if one is unlikely to ever choose such an option due to constraints of whatever sort. choosing a shampoo, a car, a job, a partner, to break a promise, to break a heart, to be happy, to poke one's eyes out - apparently for some the belief that these are all available options seems to give assurance that they are in control of their own situation.

even if the reality of their choice is patently untrue.

more on this.
