Capítulo 244: 47.1 Meaningful Choice?

Choice... Was it even a reality? As someone that believed more in luck than hard work, the concept of choices struck me as something you do only to increase your chances of success. There was no such thing as guaranteed success in this world. Hell, even if you somehow did everything right, that you somehow prepared for every single possible scenario that could possibly go wrong, you still had a one percent chance that something ridiculous was going to happen. It might be as small as a forgotten screw, or it might be that an earthquake suddenly happened, but the end result was always the same. There was simply no feasible way to make sure that your efforts will be rewarded. At best, you get a decent payoff, and even then it might not even be worth it.

Then again, that was just me. I did say that choices increased the odds of success, so that also means that one could stack the odds so heavily in one's favor that the one percent scenario would be inconsequential even if it did happen.
