We go through motions and actions without thinking, until one day we wake up with no clue how we got where we are.
And it is then we are faced with a choice: exert effort to reprogram our “wiring” and change the way we think, see, and feel, which is frustrating and requires constant attention and gentle trying again and again… or pretend we never saw, which is also frustrating, because we can never un-see, and are now aware of our constantly deepening spirals of self-inflicted suffering— the suffering of not only ourselves, but its effect on all those around us.
So is there then any choice at all?
