> We make hundreds or thousands of more or less irrational choices every day, based on what else if not favour? Without constantly being able to favour one out of many alternatives life is extremly confusing, or impossible, to live.
Yes. This seems right. I prefer to think that choosing to FAVOR one choice over an other, in the moment, results in conscious choice rather than unthinking choice that arises from a predetermined, pre selected favorite. I like to try to keep myself awake and making my own choices appropriate to the context when doing art and life. When I am doing something less important, I care less. Regardless I avoid automatic responses and preselected choices as much as possible. I feel that it is my responsibility to live a full and creative life. I have to use all the many skills I have gained to stay aware of the subtly shifting contexts in which we understand our lives and move them along toward death. At death I hope to have examined by art and science all the ins and outs of my personal existence. While this is boring to others it seems to me better than being the automaton of the media and marketing industry. I prefer to live apart from the current product lines and color themes of popular fashion. These choices and acts require me to be alert and willing to sever social and other contacts when I see that the origins are in popular culture. I realize that most people who are "ARTISTS" have little contact with conscious choice and don't believe in it or recognize it. This is very easy to spot as is a rack of Halmark cards. They have little possibility of personal development or of living a conscious life. It is OK for them. For me, I choose to choose every time. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
