    I’d say they are choices, just not concious choices.

    You can demonstrate this by noticing the way different people have different reactions to the same experiences or events.

    Easiest to see in people because of the greater awareness and agency but it applies to cows too because they’re smart enough to have individual personalities

        Yeah, totally.

        I laugh at my hayfever, through the sneezing and the coughing. My husband gets angry.

        So we have very different levels of “suffering” to the same experience.

        Good example, thanks.
