Almost everybody wants choice. Autonomy is considered one of three legs of a stool in one model of happiness, and is generally considered to be good for happiness. Yet, when you give people lots of choices, lots of people can’t decide. Or they often make a decision and become unhappy about not taking a different option later. And if the situation allows for it, they make poorly thought out decisions, regret it or just move on like it was a meaningless choice, and just take another option in endless cycles like fast fashion. Then, when some think hard about their decisions among many choices, they end up with analysis paralysis, of which the more serious kind can lead to emotion breakdowns or worse outcomes for their lives and health. But even when there is little consequence, the fact you have to make a decision, even the lightest of decision, is a burden like a duty you have to perform. So regardless of decision magnitude or difficulty, choice is a burden of freedom. I used to also think choice was a responsibility of freedom, but soon realized that a lot of people get away with poor choices and/or don’t accept responsibility for them, even when they can’t get away with it, so I removed the responsibility aspect of my views on choice and freedom.
