No Choice at All

Choices determine subsequent choices, sometimes narrowing the options and at other times expanding the range.  When the range is sufficiently narrow it becomes fated, and choices follow one from another with such inevitability that it seems no choice exists at all.  To go along with what began at the start of the chain is all that remains, ratifying rather than selecting what is available.  Resisting can seem a choice but it is too expensive to be considered.
