What do you think?

Have you ever thought back about the times in your life when you could have chosen other?  We have all made choices in life based on the situation at the time, but what if it was already planned and you were just going through the actions. Like a story in a book. You were just acting it out. I know this may be a bit far fetch for a first blog, but I would love to hear what some of you have to say about this?
