Which perspective do you find you make choices from?
From my point of view, it is difficult for me to say that I make my choices from only one of them, because it depends on the situation, but what I actually know is that most of the time, I make my choices from the consequentialist view.
Why?
The reason why I make my choices mainly from the consequentialist view is basically because since I was a kid, my parents used to tell me all the time that every single action that we commit has a consequence or an echo in our lives. Besides of that I understood that even though the categorical view sometimes can be a good choice in order to take one decision, ultimately the consequences are the most important thing.
Does it change by circumstance?
As I said before, the circumstance or situation is really important. Sometimes the best option is sticking to consequentialism , and on the other hand sometimes the best option is to stick to categorical view. Even though this fact is present, depending on our experience, we will use one more than the other, because experience is what affects us when it comes to take a decision. Once we use one more than the other, we start assuming facts, and ideas, which at the end will decide the view that we are going to use.
What ideas/assumption underlies your moral choice?
From my point of view, I think that experience plays a really important role in this situation, even though we can understand both views our personal experience is what shapes our personality, thinking, and of course the view that we use when it comes to taking a decision.

Blog Prompt #3
By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies – all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable.’
From my point of view, when it comes to interpret this statements there is no such a thing as right answer. Depending on our background, culture, and beliefs we can interpret this statement in some way, or another.
First off, when it comes to the first phrase the idea that crosses my mind is that every soul is forced to life in a body that is so fragile, so that it is condemned to live a very random and irregular life. Besides of that it does not finish there, because the last word of the sentence implies that all these souls are also forced to do so alone, so actually the real suffering is the fact that every soul has to go throw this suffering alone, which in fact makes it more sad.
Besides oft hat, from my point of view the second phrase the different interactions of our souls are described as sensations, feelings, insights, and fancies, which in some way transmit me the idea of personal thinking. When we interact with the information that is in our surroundings, all the thoughts that cross our minds stay there, but not all the time are shared with a different soul, so therefore it implies that each of these interactions that happen between us and the surrounding is a personal experience, that is not necessary shared all the time.
Finally my interpretation of the last sentence is that by saying that all these interactions are private except through symbols, but incommunicable, my thinking is that we can communicate a description of what we feel, see, or think, but at the end the real and perfect descriptions and most honest thoughts stay always personal in our minds.
