"We are pawns in a game whose forces we largely fail to comprehend. We usually think of ourselves as sitting in the driver's seat, with ultimate control over the desicions we make and the direction our life takes; but, alas, this perception has more to do with our desires - with how we want to view ourselves - than with reality."
This from Dan Ariely, behavioral economist and author of Predictably Irrational, a fantastically interesting book about the hidden forces that affect our decisions. It is a great read.
