So i was discussing actions with a friend of mine, and he claimed the follwoing:

Every action we have made, is an action we wanted to make.

Action meaning a conscious disission we decide to act upon, exluding automaticly controled bodily processes like blinking and growing hair. "Wanted to" meaning something we belived was the best thing to to in the moment of making the disission. We might regret it later, but when we decided to act, it was what we wanted to do.

At first i thought it was a childish and unjustified claim, but then i tried thinking of counter examples. Seriously, is there anything you have done in the past that you did not want to do?

>Inb4 My mom told me to take out the garbage and i did not want to do it, but i still did.

When you did it you realized it would make your life easier if you just did it, so you actually wanted to.
