"It was as simple as that. Once he had yearned for choice. then, when he had had a choice, he had made the wrong one: the choice to leave. And now he was starving. But if he had stayed... His thoughts continued. If he had stayed, he would have starved in other ways. He would have lived a life hungry for feelings, for color, for love." pahe number

The above passage is a quote from the book "The Giver".

Explanation:

The passage conveys the message that our choices have consequences and that we must choose those that are true to our truths and our convictions.

This passage refers to how Jonas, the protagonist of the book, decided to abandon the perfect and utopian society in which he lived, because that society left him empty, without feelings. When leaving the city, Jonas goes through difficulties such as hunger and cold, however, if he had stayed in the city, the needs would be more but they would still exist and would be even more comfortable, because they are needs of the soul.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
