To Write Is To Choose

When one writes,one must never be neutral; as what was taught to us in writing classes. We must choose a side. And that is to side with what is right and good. To be a neutral writer is just a mere chronicler, the good writer moves mountains.
If you see a man beating up his wife,do you just stay impartial and just write, "This man is beating up his wife"? I hope not. We do or write what we can to help.
And so, this idea should not just be for writers but for all of us. It is not just "TO WRITE IS TO CHOOSE," but also, "TO LIVE IS TO CHOOSE." In life, there are no gray areas (except our brains). We have to choose sides.It's either to be good or to be bad. it's cheesy, but certainly exact.
So what kind of choices have u been making? Do you go drinking with your friends instead of studying? Do you go malling instead of helping out at home? Do you choose to cheat rather that work on your own capacity? These are simple choices, but these choices make who you are as a person, and what you become in life.
