so you could say:

we chose to be discriminated in this very modern society.

we chose to bring on the potential wrath and sadness of our parents and siblings.

we chose this life of instability.

we chose to have suicidal feelings quite often.

we chose a life where we would be damned by most of the religious societies in the world.

we chose to lose many of our great friends.

we chose to live a life that is potentially lonely, especially when we get old.

we chose a life that will bring us more pain and suffering than happiness and contentment.


go figure.
