Consciousness: What is it and how does it affect our decisions?

Regardless of its fundamental nature, consciousness is clearly an important factor influencing our behavior. For example, consciousness allows us to understand the consequences of our actions and make informed choices.

In general, consciousness is a complex phenomenon that allows us to perceive the world through our senses, to think and feel emotions. It also allows us to remember the past and plan for the future.

For the most part, consciousness plays an important role in our decision making. It allows us to evaluate different options and choose the one we think is the best. However the essential question would be ~ How does our conscience affect our decisions?

When we are aware of other people's feelings and experiences or our goals, we are more likely to make decisions that positively affect them.

Consciousness is often associated with mind, but they are not the same thing. The mind is the system that processes information and generates thoughts and feelings. Consciousness is the experience of those thoughts and feelings..... possibly more than that...
