The option of choice- an irony?

Choice is not all it's made out to be, or is it? If there really exists the possibility of having to choose, then we would be living on a different planet right now. Take stealing as an example. Everyone knows it's bad, but people still do it by their own decision. But how can that be considered a choice when it's obvious that the option to do so will be wrong? That is pure defiance/delinquency as I wish to see it. Having two options while knowing whih is better than the other, right or wrong, the asnwer is already stark clear. A choice can't be made when there is not much of a choice so to speak. Choice- what's that?
