Would your life be easier/better/more fulfilling if you didn't have so many choices?

Asked by tinyfaery (44115points) February 9th, 2010

This answer to this question got me thinking. I sometimes feel as though, for all of our free choices in regards to how we live, the work we do or don’t do, what we buy, who we date, that life is not necessarily better because of it. Personally, I feel like the myriad of choices available to me sometimes leave me feeling unfulfilled simply because I know I have another choice. This affects every area of my life.

Can you imagine living without so many choices? I’m not talking about arranged marriages and caste systems, though they create an interesting juxtaposition. Maybe if there were fewer choices about what to buy, where to live, who to marry, what type of job to have, etc. we could all be a bit more satisfied with the choices we made.
