Alan Watts discusses choice and the thoughts process behind it. Our choices are fundamentally what shape our character, and more importantly our life as a whole. (remember to subscribe and like the video please!) "The data for any situation is infinite. So what you do is, you go through the motions of thinking about what you will do about this.
