Still musing on the subject of "choice". Is choice always a "real" decision that you consciously make? To be completely real, you must be also aware of the consequences. Let's say you are invited to a party. You are free to choose whether to go or not to go. Let's say that you decide to go. While you are at the party, something happens that changes your life (you meet a special someone, you have an accident, you are presented with an unexpected golden opportunity etc.). What happens is, yes, the result of your mindful choice to go to the party. But the final outcome is certainly not. It is the consequence of a decision made by your "unconscious" self. It is called "fate" (i.e. the development of events beyond a person's control).
