Douglas Geivett said, “A great deal of responsibility for suffering or for evil generally in the world today is rooted in how we exercise the freedom we have.” What are evidences you have seen of the connection between the freedom to choose and human suffering?

I made poor decisions with my finances and still suffer with being able to have any savings. These poor choices sadly have carried over to my son and it pains me to watch him suffer. Had I made better choices with my finances when I was younger, I would be in a much better position today financially as well as had shown a better example to my son.

I have seen the evidence of man’s choice in teens who choose to participate in unhealthy behaviors such as alcohol and drugs ruin their own lives and those of others. I’ve seen men and women make choices to have affairs that not only impacted them, but their families as well.

When I was younger, I was abused by a family friend. Their misuse of freedom has brought about huge trauma in my own life that I am still trying to work through.

I know a mother who was addicted to meth and lost everything because of her choice to use. God rescued her from that bondage, and yet she still has some serious health problems, and not to mention all of the guilt that she still carries today.

When we make bad choices we pay the price or consequences of our choices. Such as drinking or using drugs which have devastating consequences. People choose evil things because of the allure of things forbidden.
