Let the others decide by themdelves on whether they prefer to have a choice or not,... The millions of immigrants of this world are living proofs that people will create their own choices when dissatisfied by what's currently available to them.
Your rant would be more credible if done at the end of your life, a life in which you did what I wanted you to do, regardless of your preferences.
But I don't think you're totally wrong. Each choice can be a source of anguish, because it questions who you are, and that can be painful if you are insecure or dislike yourself. This is called exintential angst. As an example, I once met a tibetan girl living in the west who bitterly complained that her parents did not arrange a marriage for her. Past thirty, she did not feel herself capable of finding a husband anymore.
All in all, I think the best is to give the people the choice of forsaking their choices, if they wish so. This already exists, it's the default lifepath: gettin an education, work in a company, find a partner and raise kids, retire and die. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as it's optional.
