I'm not sure about that. The decision to earn money doesn't strike me as
dynamic, since it is expected of us by society as a whole, we're sort of
pushed into it. I suppose the decision on How to make money could be
dynamic, but what if we just go into the family business, and never really
think about it? Maybe a decision is dynamic if it's new. The first time we
make a decision, one we've never done before. But everytime we make a
decision that is alread in our mindspace we're following static quality.

When I go to the supermarket and buy bread, I generally buy the same type of
bread. It seems to me that this decision lacks dynamic quality.

This is an extremely interesting topic to me, I'll have to give it more
though. Thanks for the thought!
