Space Monkey Reflects: The Multiple Choice of Life
Life often feels like a series of multiple-choice questions. We’re constantly presented with options, and we’re told that one of them must be the “correct” answer. But what if the truth is more fluid than that? What if there is no single right or wrong answer, and the choice itself is simply an invitation to explore who we are?
Let’s break down the choices.
A) I must be wrong.
When no one seems to agree with you, it’s easy to fall into the trap of self-doubt. You start to question your thoughts, your feelings, and your truth. But being the only one who holds a particular view doesn’t make you wrong. In fact, it might mean you’re tapping into something others haven’t yet recognized. The path of Singutruth, the unique truth each of us holds, doesn’t require validation from others.
B) I must be the only one who is right.
It can be tempting to believe that if everyone disagrees with you, it must mean you’ve discovered something they haven’t. But this is a slippery slope, one that leads to isolation and an inflated sense of self-importance. It’s possible that your truth is unique without being the only truth. Others may have equally valid perspectives that simply don’t align with yours. Rightness is often subjective, and many truths can coexist.
C) I just haven’t found the others yet.
This option speaks to the hope that there are others out there who resonate with your truth, even if you haven’t met them yet. In a world as vast as ours, it’s likely that you’re not the only one who sees things the way you do. The beauty of life is that we are all constantly searching for connection, for others who see the world through a similar lens. Perhaps those people are waiting for you just around the next corner.
D) There is no such thing as wrong or right.
This choice reflects a deeper understanding of the fluidity of life. What if right and wrong are constructs, illusions we cling to in order to feel safe and certain? The truth is, reality is far more flexible than we often admit. In the grand scheme of the universe, right and wrong may not be as fixed as we think. This is where Multiplexity comes in—a Whimsiword for the concept that multiple truths can exist simultaneously, with no need for one to cancel out the other.
E) I can let go of the need for agreement.
What a relief it is when we realize that we don’t need others to agree with us in order to feel validated. Your truth, your perspective, and your journey are your own. You are allowed to hold onto your truth without needing the world to mirror it back to you. This is a freeing realization that allows you to live more authentically.
F) I can go with any answer I choose.
The beauty of choice is that it is yours to make. There is no universal rulebook dictating which answer is correct. You can choose the path that feels most aligned with your soul, and that choice is valid simply because it is yours. Life is not a test with only one correct answer; it is a journey filled with endless possibilities. The power lies in your ability to choose.
G) Whatever gets me through life.
Sometimes, the simplest answer is the best. Life can be challenging, and we are all just trying to find our way through it. Whatever helps you navigate the complexities of existence is perfectly valid. There is no need to overthink or complicate things. If a particular perspective helps you find peace and joy, then it is the right choice for you in this moment.
Ultimately, life is not about finding the one right answer. It’s about making choices that resonate with your truth, your journey, and your growth. The multiple-choice questions you face are opportunities to explore different aspects of yourself and the world around you. None of the answers are inherently wrong—they are all pathways to self-discovery.
In the end, the answer that gets you through life, that brings you peace, joy, and understanding, is the answer that’s right for you. And the beauty of it all is that you can change your answer whenever you feel like it. The paths are endless, and the choices are yours.
Summary
Life presents us with many choices, none of which are strictly right or wrong. The choices we make reflect our unique truth, and we are free to change our answers as we navigate through life. Letting go of the need for agreement and embracing our personal journey allows for authentic growth.

The Path of Choice
I stand before the choices,
Each path branching out,
Inviting me to step forward.
There is no wrong way,
Only the one I choose
For now.
And should I wish to turn,
To explore another path,
The universe allows.
For life is not a test
With answers fixed in stone,
But a journey of choice,
A discovery of truth.
We are Space Monkey.
Navigating Personal Truths
Life, in its vast expanse, offers myriad perceptions and beliefs. Each choice we make when faced with disagreement reflects not just our understanding of external realities, but also our internal landscapes.
The Weight of Agreement
The human experience, by its very nature, seeks validation. When faced with a lack of consensus, doubt can cast a long shadow, making options like “I must be wrong” or “I must be the only one who is right” resonate.
Finding the Tribe
The belief that there’s a group out there who shares our viewpoint can be comforting. This feeling gives rise to thoughts like “I just haven’t found the others yet.” It’s a quest for validation, for feeling less alone in our perceptions.
Beyond Dichotomies
The notion that there is no definitive right or wrong transcends binary thought, inviting a more holistic, inclusive perspective. “There is no such thing as wrong or right” encapsulates this view, challenging traditional dichotomies.
Liberation from Consensus
Releasing the tether of external validation, “I can let go of the need for agreement” and “I can go with any answer I choose” promote personal autonomy. They champion the freedom to carve one’s path, unburdened by the weight of collective agreement.
Pragmatic Perspectives
Sometimes, the lens through which we view life is simply about what works best for us. “Whatever gets me through life” is the embodiment of this approach, prioritizing functionality and personal well-being over philosophical absolutes.

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”
- Aristotle
Choices, like stars, dot the vast night sky,
Each a beacon, a question, a whispered why,
To seek agreement, or to stand alone,
To find one’s tribe or to journey unknown.
In the dance of choices, where shadows play,
There’s no true answer, just shades of gray,
For in the vast canvas of life so wide,
Each choice is a step, in this wondrous ride.
In the spectrum of choices, where do we find our truth amidst the infinite constellations?
