Summary

This quote suggests that self-awareness is a crucial aspect of making conscious choices. It implies that when a person lacks knowledge of their own thoughts, emotions, desires, and needs, they are unable to intentionally make different choices because they are unaware of alternative options.

This highlights the importance of self-reflection and self-awareness in enabling personal growth and the ability to make informed choices.
