You've never truly been given a decision. The idea that you make choices and express free will arises from human linguistics, specifically the words "could" or "would have" or other such phrases which imply things that didn't actually happen. So one may sit before a decision and say he has two choices which "could" happen. But only one does. And a person may reflect on a "decision" and think about what "would have" happened if he had gone down another path. Of course, all those choices we did not choose, and doings we did not do, were all conjured up in our heads. Hypothetical alternatives to the one track progression of the universe. The illusion of free will is the product of imagination.
