Friend: So, how's married life?
Me : (smiling) Simpler.
Friend: (smiling) Why? How come?
Me : There's only one choice - go home to my wife :)
The paradox of choice.
If we list all the alternatives that we have, then add the choice we've made and apply the concept of "opportunity loss" to all the alternatives we've let go, it will always lead to a depressed boy. Not unless we made the wisest choice :)
That decision we've made, that choice we've embraced, will always be miniscule compared to all that alternatives we've let go. Because the summation of all opportunity loss of all the alternatives will always outnumber and outweigh the choice.
Only when we know the value and the weight of a right choice can we truly be happy. Without that knowledge, we will always be unhappy because all the choices and all the alternatives have equal weight :)
And the right choice only appears when we truly know what we want. And it is bliss if we have what we want.
Oh, I love my wife!
"... why think like mere men?"
