The Man and the Choice Mentality
It is no secret that the old man has more privileges than the modern man. What most people don’t realize is that the fundamental difference is the “choice mentality” of the old man.
The old man is the sole leader and the only one who sets conditions and makes those around him harmonize with him without changing his nature and compromising to harmonize with the surroundings. This trait he acquired because of his difficult surroundings, in which nothing is gained unless it is earned.
Acquisition and merit is the root of the modern man’s difference from the ancient man. The difference between the two is that earning is something that comes by merit, in contrast to entitlement, which comes from options that the person did not choose, such as (lineage, beauty, social status, etc.).
The modern man must abandon the illusions and heresies of democratization in choices and treat his choices as acquisitions, not entitlements. He realizes and understands that it does not come easily, and he has to optimize and take advantage of the opportunities that can be exploited.
A successful choice-minded person realizes that he must maintain and expand his choices and seek to improve them in accordance with his need for them. One of the things that strengthens the culture of choices for the modern man is that he cares about his scientific, career and practical level and seeks to improve his choices and set a schedule of priorities according to his situation.
