It's true, the majority of acts in our life are done in automatic pilot. We tend to avoid thinking to much about daily routine (don't you think it's a waste of time use hours to decide if we prefer coffee or tea for breackdast?).
can Motives run the automatic pilot for us. Motives are the reasons why we behave this or that way. As for motives, wemention orders (given by an adult, authority, etc.), customs (because we're used to do something and we repetit, and perhaps all the people around us tend to do the same), and caprices (we do what we want, by impulse). But what I think is important here is the weight each motive has, or the weight we give to them. What is more important for me? To follow an order (in order not to be against the authority), a costume (just because it is comfortable and easy) or a caprice (just because).
But sometimes to observe an order, or to follow a costume is not enough, not even to mention caprices.Sometimes in life, we have to take an important decision, and we want this decision to be correct, but it's not that easy. We allways run the risk of making a mistake.
Taking a decision allways imply to reject other options, and who knows...(there is no automatic pilot in this case) you have to take the risk.
=P No pains, no gains!

Hi Pame!
I was thinking about how difficult is to make a decision!!
I'd like to use an automatic pilot in every difficult situation appears in my life.
I'd like to decide as if I woke up every morning!!!
But, this is life... and as soon as we grow up we have to use to taking decisions, and this is the way we grow...running the risks of failing!
Somebody once told me that we learnt from mistakes, do you think it's true?
Hi Giyo!
Thanks for your comment. It would be useful to have an automatic pilot to solve problems, but I think we'd prefer to do it on our own, because we might not be happy with the final result.
If toddles fall down millions of times before learning to walk... I think we can make many mistakes before learning something!
This is an impulsive comment: I TOTALLY LOVE YOUR PICTURES!!!!!!!!

I certainly agree with your reply to Giyo, Pamela! An "automatic pilot" might make our lives easier, but definitely not worth it! In fact, it is those moments where we must make our own choices which make our life unique, and contribute to building our identity...
I wish you and all visitors to this blog a life full of difficult choices!
Fondly,
Gladys
