Choice

A choice is the range of different things from which a being can choose.^[1] The arrival at a choice may incorporate motivators and models.

Freedom of choice is generally cherished, whereas a severely limited or artificially restricted choice can lead to discomfort with choosing, and possibly an unsatisfactory outcome. In contrast, a choice with excessively numerous options may lead to confusion, reduced satisfaction, regret of the alternatives not taken, and indifference in an unstructured existence;^[2]^[3]^: 63 and the illusion that choosing an object or a course, necessarily leads to the control of that object or course, can cause psychological problems.^[4]
