Have you ever been confused about choosing a movie to watch?

It happened to me. I get confused every time I open Netflix. There are various genres of movies, scary or funny ones. Which one is for me?

It should be easier for someone to get the movie they want to watch, right?

However, too many choices and endorsements do not help. A half-hour after opening Netflix, I am still scrolling up and down.

It also happens in life. The more options available, the more complicated the decision-making process.

I remember when I was a teenager, decades ago. My parents took me to buy shoes. The popular brand then was Bata; the fashion was standard, slightly different from one shoe to another. I quickly decided what shoes I wanted.

But now it’s different. Shopping can take hours. It may end with a purchase, but mostly nothing to buy. That too many shoe models make me doubtful.

Have you ever thought that civilization would be better off getting back to the 80s when choices were limited, but humans could live with them?

That way, we can make decisions faster and save time. Our life may be less hedonistic.

Back to my Bata shoes, they were very durable. They didn’t break for a year or even more. There was a time when I prayed that my footwear would break so I could ask my mother for new ones.
