The Quiet Tree

in poetry •  7 years ago 

I like the lines "You are free to choose, but you are not free."

It reminds me of something I heard about human psychology once (I think in reference to children and employees haha) that being given an actual choice is not important, but that the appearance of choice is what makes people feel more willing to comply. Instead of asking "Do you want to wear a coat," for example, you'd say "Do you want to wear the red coat or the blue coat?" Interesting stuff! I think it also applies to bigger ideas. Little bit of a tangent haha. Thanks for sharing.
