Whose Life is it Anyways?

We wake up, we do things and we sleep. So what exactly is the crux when it comes to what we lead day in day out? Is it life? Is it a systematic behavioral syndrome defining our actions and providing a framework which will ensure we stay within predefined boundaries defined initially by our peers and then slowly developed by us as per what we experience?

If that is indeed the case, then whats the whole concept of freedom of choice? Where is the freedom when you know you have to make a choice? Does that mean Human Beings should be defined as choice making organisms who have to be presented with a set of options to tick? Are we chess pawns.... part of a bigger game... with somebody setting scenarios and conducting a major psychological study? What happens when the study is over? Do we stop getting choices meaning we are stuck in a limbo?

So my query... Whose Life is it anyways??
