in our time of rest. we wait and wonder. never knowing 

Ever since we were born. whether the birth of humanity or our own selves, we have been free to choose. Perhaps even before we were born we were free to choose. 

or was it then that we are chosen?

Every cell when it divides is starting something that will grow bigger. With every division the growth accelerates exponentially because every cell plays their part.

 But nothing lasts forever and when the work is done. the work is done.

and so the question i want to ask is..do the cells get to choose? Our own lives paralled cellular life in so many respects and its irreverent to not listen to them  because we are obviously built from them.

thats right. you were first just a cell. i was first just a cell and your friends were all once single cells and we might have all been single cells together. once. how very small and powerful we once were.

now the life of a cell go's like this. First the blue print is copied. These come from combinations of four different nucleotides. These nucleotides arrange themselves in lots of different ways into codons. The codons arrange themselves in lots of different ways into peptides and the peptides arrange themselves in lots of different ways into proteins called genes. the genes arrange themselves in lots of different ways into chromosomes. and groups of chromosomes arrange themselves into twenty three pairs [ groups of 46] that code for a human and humans arrange themselves into lots of different ways and single handedly or together we code for lots of different things. The end results of which; code for what? that is the mystery

but back to that chromosomal arrangement.  1} DNA replicates. now for us as human our parallel replication is the imprint we put on our world. This we get to choose. In a cell each nucleotide has one option. The others do not fit. Do we have one option? you might say no because truly many many options are presented to us for lots of different things. like when you go shopping. especially to malls. The options are endless. So many things we couldddd get. 

but seriously, there is only ever one right option. and that goes for everything.

For example. 

if you had to choose between eyes that can see or being blind you would choose eyes. it makes sense.

but what would you choose if you got to choose between wings and legs. i would say wings cos that would be fun but the rest of me isnt made to fly. my arms would get in the way. i wouldnt be able to land...cos id need legs and id have to land to eat and my wings would get in the way..yeah you  get the drift

so even though the choice was there i need to know what the right one is.

the thing is we always know but the freedom wants us to believe that we can change that. that we can right our own code. and maybe we can. but what will it code for in the end?

The problem with all the choice is that so many things can bind. So yes we have more freedom than a cell because our binding site is bigger and we can change it at will. but what are we choosing what have we been choosing and when exactly did freedom begin?

Right there in the process of replication perhaps. The one where we leave our copy on the world. Right before the process of cell division. That is what we produce. Our choices produce things. We are constantly growing and our choices lie at the heart of that growth and the growth is coding for something that will code with other things into a final code that has been growing and developing since freedom began. way back when?
