Buridan's Donkey

The equality of choice
Didn’t really bother me
Cause my opinion wasn’t voiced
They took it as a quandary
In fact, I was just waiting 
For the sun to come out
And as it did, I ate
The right stack with no doubt
For it was brighter lit
And I could plainly see
What kind of grass to eat
While they were staring at me.

I never know which stack to choose but my dog, Pavlov, always says an unconditioned stimulus will produce an unconditioned response.
