Albert Camus, a notable novelist and existentialist philosopher, famously raised a profound existential question: "Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?" This statement illustrates the theme that life revolves around choices. Each moment presents us with decisions that shape our existence, emphasizing the weight of choice in our daily lives.
In his book "The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less," author Barry Schwartz further explores this concept, suggesting that an abundance of choices can lead to anxiety and paralysis. While choices define our experiences, too many options may overwhelm us, complicating the act of making decisions and potentially detracting from our overall satisfaction in life.
