It's very easy to make decisions when your choices are right or wrong. It's much more difficult to make decisions when your choices are wrong or wrong, or right for one and right for another.
Knowing what to do with binary choices doesn't impress me.
Right. I think that I, personally, am always making decisions when my choices are wrong or wrong, or right for one and right for another. If I was completely self-Less, then all my decisions would be binary, with no gray. I'd be choosing off of script i.e. the Bible. I'd not use my own (selfish) demonic brain for the complex decisions. I'd just quote Leave it to the Lord unquote. It's an either or. You either live by your wits which can be clouded by your biochemistry for that particular day, hour, or time in your life, or you make snap judgements based off of memorized "code" (of ethics) so to speak. I think that both can be utilized, but I'm too lazy to memorize code that could possibly cause me to make as bad a decision as my wit would. I think that code provides unity though among all of our different wits (with different bents or proclivities either arisen from genetics and/or environment) about us.
So clans, cults, people of the cloth, groups, teams, countries are deciding off of a collective wit or a collective code. When the collective wit starts developing a collective code for other collective wits, the loss of wit begins for all wits (even the wit that has developed the code for others loses their wits, because through successive generations, their OWN collective wit forgets why their wit was the way it was because they are always looking to the CODE for direction, which is merely "words" i.e. wordism, and not wit); therefore, it is best for wits to stick to their own, and fight it out with other wits for eternity, because deferring to a set of universal "principles" or "words" to live by will cause EVERYONE to lose their wits. You can't think anymore because the brain doesn't have to or is told not to by outside forces (not conducted by nature and nature, in the end, is ruler of us all in the physical world we live in - maybe on another planet we'd be lighter weight and live longer who knows?)
Most of my decisions are PURELY selfish in the end, even if, I am sacrificing for another or others. By sacrificing myself for others, I'm being selfish in my belief that when I die, I will be rewarded by God for "doing good" or the "right thing." I recognize that I am Not God, that there most likely is a God given the complexity and enormity of the universe. I almost consider myself an animal at the mercy of God's nature, always. We all die. I could have my head chopped off in a millisecond sourced from any manner of nature's forces that could arise at Any time here on Earth. We. do. not. know. when or where or how we will be snuffed out, but we do know that we will be snuffed out, so at least while I'm not snuffed out, I'm going to live as honestly as I can (though selfish, definitely, I can't help it, that's our nature, our biological makeup telling us how to survive financially, physically, mentally - we are directed by the flesh every day, our desires to fvck, to eat that $30 salmon diner, to sleep, to exercise to look better, to educate ourselves to look better, etc etc).
So the Main thing that makes you appreciate nature and physics, and right and wrong, respect for life, in the physical world is to always WORK (except on your days off) year-round (even if you hit the lotto and don't have to work, work), because idle hands are the devil's workshop. If you don't make your way, nature, or someone else, will make it for you.
So we are pittling and fuddy-duddying around on this dirt, some on the water, or in the air, every day of our lives, life has been all but disintegrated by periodic large meteorites before, and has grown back before. Those who do not respect nature, or do not recognize the force of nature, do not know right from wrong, because life is the ultimate right, and death is the ultimate wrong.
