Part of being human means dividing our lives into neat little boxes, boxes that are easy to look at and understand from the outside. It comes as a matter of course that in order to simplify what would normally be complex decision-making, we must reduce the complex world around us into categories. This can sometimes be extremely helpful, but in many ways, it is horribly painful for everyone. The most obvious negatives are the tragic ones: like racism, political extremism, ultra-nationalism resulting in wars and conflicts.
The goal of those who wish to control us, our minds, our thoughts, our money, make it their business to reduce complex decision-making to very simple emotions. Nowhere is this more evident than the super market aisle.

What is it about the small, repeated decisions in life –why do they lend themselves to being made with little to no thought at all?
My answer is to have consciously a sense of the Whole - and small decisions are easier.
