I have a knife. I'm a big fat scary looking guy. I'm trying to rob you. I put the knife against your neck. Coincidently, you are holding a lot of money. Let's say your entire family fortune. So, I ask you, "Hey, gimme your money or I will slice your god damned throat!"
You are scared a hell, and you gimme the money.......
Later, you reach home, you tell your mom. "Mom, I was robbed. He was a big fat scary looking guy. He took all the money before I even reach the bank. I have no choice but to give him the money."
If I were your mum, I will say 2 things.
First, no. No, it's not that you have no choice. You made your choice. You chose to give him the money.
You may say that you have only one choice. That's why.........
Oh no...... You know you have other choices, like, you can choose to lighten my life burden, you know. You can choose to die or something. Which comes to my second point....
I'm glad that you reach home save. As a mother, I choose my son over the money.
So, yeah.. Don't say that you have no choice but to do that. Same goes to lie...
You choose to lie over telling the truth to save your own ass. I mean......... ok, for example,
You killed your boyfriend. You still telling people that your boyfriend is overseas. Later, we found out that you killed him. Then you said, I have no choice but to lie. No, you made 2 choices. You chose to kill him, then you chose to lie about it. Even though it's something that you do out of self protection. You could have choose to tell the truth. I think people will respect that...... The TRUTH......
I know, real life is much harder than this.. But, you know.. Stop saying you have no choice........
