Oh, my.
No one "makes" an adult go to a movie, eat a hamburger, go to bed. An adult chooses to do those things. Accepts responsibility.
Life is so much simpler when viewed as choices rather than as being forced by hundreds of elements more powerful than I. Life is easier as an adult than a victim.
I choose to stop at a red light, I don't want the consequences of running it. No one makes me stop.
Semantic bullshit, you say. I'd reply that it's your choice to believe that, just accept the consequences.
People are fun, and the language they use is a great hole into our psyches.
