Jason wakes up and then gets out of bed. A choice he makes every day, one of the many choices he will make automatically. Waking up however is one of those choices that gets met with a bit of resistance, a nagging to instead stay in bed and not go to work.
Once he has put his foot down and made the choice to get up he puts his foot down and starts walking to the bathroom, making another seemingly irrelevant choice to brush his teeth. He then chooses to rince his mouth out, and clean the toothbrush, he chooses to open the windows to let in the air during the day...
"Seriously? Are you going to mention every single choice? Those are just routine things you know." Jason says in an agitated tone. He does not understand that although they are all routine they all started with a conscious seed.
"Can you just focus on the conscious choices, you are making it hard to think with your stupid moment by moment replay in my head." Clearly Jason woke up grumpy today, as he usually does and is now directing that anger towards...
"Get on with it!"
Now Jason is thinking about why did he wake up and start to get ready for work. He hates going to work a choice that was based on the options of having a job or being unemployed.
"You see there was no choice there, and I was only thinking about it because you can't shut up."
If Jason wanted me to shut up he could just stop typing, that is his choice after all. Maybe he is being a whiney bitch because he just realized he could have chosen a job that he likes more.
"Hey... ok yeah."
He then thinks well you don't always have that opportunity and that you should then look at the positive side which is being employed and not gangbanged on the street.
"I did not think gangbanged on the street."
What he wanted to write me saying that he was thinking was not a very good analogy, another choice he made, an example of thinking before you speak as they say.
"Clever."
Yes, Jason has his moments. Making the choice every day to be a grumpy asshole and sticking it out in a brain dead job because it works are choices that will overshadow any "clever" ones he makes.
"You know what I am sick of you. I am going back to autopilot and fuck all this being mindful bullshit. Fuck you."
"No Jason, fuck you and have a nice day."
