When choices meet decisions

Some queries plucked from the air has been roaming in my brain cells... Beings, animals and plants are all living things; so what's now?

Plants has got the absence of the composition of the 5 elements, the 19 elements of experiencing pleasures & pains and soul. No mind, no choice & no decision; and move according to sensory elements.

Animals are always closely related to human beings. We are as amaze as by how some animals can behave like beings; just like how beings can behave like animals.

Both animals and human all has got choices... but animals don't make decisions and we do. Animals work their way to the most physical level of needs, whatever they can get and available at their convenience.
Me and you, we has got the power to decide from the list of options. What we want, what is good or what is not...

If there's an orange tree, with so many oranges. And if we can only pluck just one... this may happen:
We probably will climb all the way up just to pluck that biggest and heaviest one. That a decision we've made to put in the extra effort to climb.

For a beast, it'll most probably just reach out and pick out whatever is there. If it's sitting on the grass, it'll pick up the nearest orange that has dropped down from the tree. Even its bruised. There's choices... but no decision-making involves.

We are all blessed with choices and the power to decide. So that we can pluck that act exclusively for ourselves. We learn how to treat the people around us exclusively. And everyday will be a special one.

If we stand on the choice to behave like an animal. Naturally, we learn how to treat the people around like animals, taking them for convenience. Everyday will be as beastly monotonous. There's nothing wrong ... its a power we've used upon... the power to decide.
