And all these things have a great deal of influence. You’ll probably face disappointment and start looking at other people and feeling,
I wish I’d been born in their circumstances. But you can’t let it end there. The issue is not the past, but here, in the present.
And now you’ve learned about lifestyle. But what you do with it from here on is your responsibility.
Whether you go on choosing the lifestyle you’ve had up till now, or you choose a new lifestyle altogether, it’s entirely up to you.
YOUTH: Then how do I choose again? You’re telling me, “You chose that lifestyle yourself,
so go ahead and select a new one instantly,” but there’s no way I can just change on the spot!
PHILOSOPHER: Yes, you can. People can change at any time, regardless of the environments they are in.
You are unable to change only because you are making the decision not to. YOUTH: What do you mean, exactly?
PHILOSOPHER: People are constantly selecting their lifestyles. Right now, while we are having this tête-à-tête, we are selecting ours.

You even claim that you want to be reborn as a different person. After all that, then why are you still unable to change?
It is because you are making the persistent decision not to change your lifestyle.
