Choice

Enjoying my much deserved (I insist I deserve it haha) 2 week break now, so I have quite a bit of time at hand and therefore I start to watch quite a bit more tv. I watched this reality series called Married at First Sight and this time they replayed the first season. (I know I keep watching the show but I have no choice they keep showing it and now even Australia is doing its first season lol) Basically the show engages experts to match people who really wanna get married. The selected participants would then see their partner for the first time at the altar where they exchange vows and then go on a honeymoon. Thereafter they will stay together for I think a month and then decide if they would want to remain married or get a divorce.

Anyway one of the couples of that season didn't get off to a good start, with the girl kind of freaking out cuz the guy wasn't really what she wanted. And they managed to remain married for a year and then they were invited to a show to talk about their experience. The guy shared that they probably would not have gone on a second date in real life because we have so many choices out there. Once we don't like it we move on. But since they were in the experiment they were kind of stuck in it and they took the time to get to know each other and eventually developed feelings for each other.

Which is kind of true. We have too many choices in every aspect of our life. From trivial things like what clothes I want to buy and wear, what food I want to eat to decisions with a more far reaching outcome like what job I want and who I want to date. When I have 10 food choices you find yourself not knowing what to eat. When I do no carbs it was easier to choose what to eat because choices are so limited.

So I guess...I have no choice but to...
