Big questions, pol.science; i think Allans got a good point with "cause and effect", and a large dollop of reflection. One point of view might suggest that we are biologically driven or disposed; thankfully, we developed cortical mantle to simulate the "cause and effect" thing, and the ability to choose not to do, sometimes called "free wont". But dont despair at the angst you're feeling; it's all good growth, if you ask me. Personally, i dont even know what i'm doing most the time now, never mind "always knowing" :)
