There are usually two ways we approach decisions: there is the logical choice and there is the subjective (usually emotional) choice. Usually, we choose the second and dance around for a while. Then we seek advice from more “experienced” ones. These “experienced ones” are simply folks who are 1. smarter than us so they see the logical decision and why it is the only choice. 2. have learnt by experiencing the first decision and know it doesn’t work.
