Decisions, decisions.

My morning shower thought was all about ‘decisions’.

In particular, the dividing line between ‘I am reacting to <external stimulus example>’ and ‘I have chosen without direct impact of external forces’.

The number of decisions I’ve made that were internally generated is much smaller than the number which were a direct response to external forces.   In that you could almost see a wave breaking on the shore.  It surges against a rock, and some water goes left, some goes right.  The history of the wave coupled with the shape of the rock determine the path through which the water flows.

I too am like the water.
