Knowing that everything I choose could be inherently pointless & useless gives clarity to my act of choosing.

Pointlessness gives me clarity because it reinforces that any choice is solely mine to make.

It reinforces to me that power is inherently illusionary, thus power is what I make of it.

It forces me to really ask: Why am I making this choice? What is driving it? What do I believe, and why?

It also drives my compassion practice: For it also reinforces that I can only work with what I have at any point in time—I can only do my best—while also putting the "power" in my hands to move beyond said limitations whenever humanely possible.
