Words of Wisdom for Sept. 18, 2019:
Alan Watts on Deciding to Decide

“We feel that our actions are voluntary when they follow a decision and involuntary when they happen without decision. But if a decision itself were voluntary every decision would have to be preceded by a decision to decide. An infinite regression which fortunately does not occur. Oddly enough, if we had to decide to decide, we would not be free to decide”

― Alan Watts,
The Way of Zen
