Choice and freedom

The obvious mistake I made with my kids (from lack of confidence) was to give them too much choice. You think at the time you're doing them a favour, offering then all this stuff, but you are really burdening them uneccessarily (pay attention Erich Fromm "Fear of Freedom")

In Hanoi I came across a restaurant with no choice at all, although there was a choice of soft drinks and coca cola (but the country had already gone to the dogs). Good food and no choice. What more could you want?
