Where a decision involved threats or severe constraints, “you chose it yourself” may conceal important conditions. This article considers conduct, pressure, available means and refusal's cost separately. It determines no guilt and requires no resistance, renewed risk or detailed account to prove freedom. Begin with present support, skip other parts and stop when needed. A small remaining possibility does not justify another's threat, while difficult circumstances replace no consideration of specific consequences. Historical philosophy helps pose a question rather than supply a country's law. Continuing danger needs actual protection; care for distress and legal advice have different tasks and contact conditions worth understanding.
