So what was your choice?

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, where is an equal and opposite reaction.

I say that for every decision that we ever undertook, there is an underlying reason which govern it, despite whatever verbal reasoning we gave for it. Whether it was for the correct reason, or not, or something else, there is something which govern the way we do things sometimes.

Whether we know it consciously or not, I believe there is such factor. Choosing to face it is another issue altogether.
