Does man have a choice?

You think you have a choice. But unfortunately, you don't have any. Can you stop acting out of your compulsions? Are your choices conscious? We act only in the manner, others want us to act like. We just reciprocate. Never did anything out of love. 

I sometimes wonder, is there any difference between humans and animals. The difference is only in our thoughts, in our mind. We just act in subtle ways. In reality, when we act through our ego, we are no less than animals. They hurt, we hate. They eat, we dominate. Being choiceless, we suffer. Accepting this reality, can bring a true change.
