well said!

 

any " decision " -- to be a decision --

must start with intent.

 

no intent, no decision

 

so where does the intent begin?

 

is there an intent to form the intent?

clearly that makes no sense

 

but then the intent itself must simply arise...

 

and if so, there is no " who " to it at all!
