Sometimes a little discomfort in the beginning can save a whole lot of pain down the road.
Buridan's A$s!
There's nothing quite as challenging as selecting a woman's dress as a gift, especially when the recipient isn't supposed to see it until the moment it's presented to her. At least that's how it appears from my perspective. I spent a considerable amount of time today trying to find the perfect dress for a dear one. My gaze fell upon dozens of different options from brands like Mango, Zara, Splash, Max, H&M and others.
Greek philosophers suggest that when faced with multiple options with no clear superior choice, one can become paralyzed and unable to make a decision. They argue that if someone were to find two loaves of bread, both of the same quality and at the same distance, they would not be able to choose either. Such is their claim!
Today, I found myself in precisely this situation, utterly incapable of making a choice. I'm at a loss, folks!
The ancient Greek philosophers referred to this phenomenon as "Buridan's As$/Donkey". The paradox tells the story of a donkey that dies from hunger and thirst because it is placed exactly halfway between a pail of water and a bale of hay. It is unable to decide where to go first. As a result, the donkey remains where it is until it dies of hunger and thirst, because it lacks the ability to decide between two equal choices! 😵💫😄

As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.
