While true in a rationalize sense, these are false choices, false
characterizations. "I do"/"I don't" are self-assumptions/self-denials of
some concept of 'Buddha Nature' the self has (see: 'Stink of Zen').
Mornings dawned before you were born. You neither invented nor
discovered morning. Neither form of
self-acting/self-crediting/self-knowledge is required for the day to
dawn. Each morning, you simply realize it is morning, and wake up!
