I was thinking about that, sideways Having so much "choice" as we do now, makes us more rigid.

Think about toilet paper? All the brands, sorts (soft, firm), number in a package, single/double ply, etc. How do you feel buying toilet paper? I don't "choose" each time I go to the store, I get the same thing over and over because all those choices make me anxious; I only want MY one kind and it's hard to find sometimes and, if they're out of it, then what do I do???

How about pizza? Do you try all the kinds and all the topping at all the different stores and frozen food aisles?

Fruit. At the grocery store, do you get the same fruit week after week or do you try different fruits for novelty? Picking oranges can be tough with 2-3 kinds, maybe I'll just get orange juice; have you seen the orange juice choices lately? I don't get either! Love navel oranges, use to love Minute Maid orange juice in a can in the 1950s but it's too much like work and to anxiety producing now, I'll just take a Vitamin C pill, thanks!
