I think I understand the point found in the quotation above. If allocating my resources means that I am compelled to surrender them, then I am being forced to live a certain way. If I give up my resources freely, then I am not forced to live a certain way. In the first instance I am left without a choice to give up my resources or not, while in the second instance I am left with a choice.

Your idiosyncratic style is difficult to follow. The rest of what you wrote makes little sense. Your comments about people buying things to be unique and something about self-awareness have no context that I can see. Is it possible that they are simply angry rants, or maybe that English is not your primary language?
