City Aphorisms · 1985
Our most important decisions are made while we are thinking about something else.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker suggests that our weightiest choices are often settled while our attention is elsewhere, not during deliberate weighing. Conscious analysis may be less decisive than we imagine, with the real turning points forming quietly in the background of everyday thought. The tone is wry and observational.
