The notion of choice occurs at many levels.
We have little or no choice about the thoughts which randomly occur to us. We do have choice about how we choose to act, that is, what we do about the thoughts.
We also have choice about how we feel. Not choice about the feeling we have now - that is the result of past choices, but about the feeling we have next.
We can be sad, and choose happiness, angry and choose love, etc.
There is not any "right" way to "be". Just possible ways - each with consequences.
From a purely pragmatic perspective - evaluate the choices you have made, see what the effects have been.
What is it that you want?
What choices are you prepared to make to support those ideals ?
Some things achieve what we want, others don't. Few of us bother to stop and check out the difference.
What happens with your life, your culture, and your planet, are your choices.
One quote I've heard is "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome."
Choose wisely.
