Yeah, sannhet
I don't think any of us make nearly as many decisions as we think we do. Our minds are already made up about most things.

Gurdjieff also taught that evil does not exist as such but is the working of the mechanical nature of things. Good things do not happen very often, but they are the result of conscious decisions. He taught that most people act in mechanical ways most of the time, that is, they do only what comes next from what came before without any real decision being made.

Excellent point! One must get to the real Truth to be able to distinguish between right and wrong or good and not good.

“ignorance regarding the good.”
This would imply that people really do not know right from wrong, though they believe that they do.
