What do we choose? 

BS'D

Through the verses of Malchuyot of Mussaf we recognize that Hashem rules the world; His authority is absolute and unconditional. The blasting of the shofar comes to coronate the King and reminds us that Hashem is the Creator of the entire world. The Shofar sound awakens remembrance of  the physical beginning of Hashem's plan for the world.  Moreover, our memory of Matan Torah is revived; the spiritual purpose to this world. Lastly the shofar comes to complete the picture of existence by reviving our memory of the ultimate culmination of Jewish destiny; the coming of Mashiach, B'H, b'karov.

What does it mean to anoint Hashem as King over the world?  A king is chosen by the people out of their own free will.  Yet the nations of the world have not 'chosen' Hashem and do not view Him as the Ruler of the world.  Our prayer on Rosh Hashanah is that soon the entire world will joyfully accept Hashem's kingship and sovereignty.  It is written in sefer Devarim (26:17), "Et Hashem he'emarta hayom l'heeyot lecha l'Elokim …. Hashem has distinguished today to be for Him a treasured people… " The commentaries explain this verse to mean – the Jewish people select and recognize Hashem to be the supreme and only authority over the world; Ein Od Milvado!

Hashem is our King and no matter what we do Hashem's will will be carried out. Simply put, Hashem's master plan for existence will unfold; through Rachamim or Din.  The choice is ours. Positive mode, Rachamim, is displayed when the Jewish nation follows the Torah laws.  Negative mode, din, happens only if the Jewish nation rebels thus causing her enemies to rise against her. This causes us to do teshuva thus resulting in our enemies downfall and displays Hashem's everlasting sovereignty to shine forth through their defeat.  

B'H Please Hashem may it be Your will that all the dinim and judgments be sweetened on high with revealed Rachamim and Your true compassionate hand be broadcast for all to see. May it be that this year will usher in the revelation of Your complete glory and Kingship for all the world to witness and experience. Wishing everyone a sweet, fruitful, abundantly blessed New Year!

Connection is the antidote. 
Hence חורבן (destruction) must lead to חברות (friendship and togetherness).
