Now lets really break your brain, are you & I able to make our own choices? Is the ego, the voice in our own skulls, the conscious mind really ever making any decisions?
There are a great many studies that seem to indicate decisions are made well before our conscious selves are aware of them.
We are far more driven by emotion & instinct then any of us care to admit.
Sounds more like where addiction plays more of a role before choice kicks in.
