Indecisive

Sometimes I wonder if people become more and more indecisive in this day and age because there are too many options. People become overwhelmed with choices and end up not knowing what they want. Sometimes you know what you want but then the option of another sparks curiosity, so do you pick the other unknown or stick with what you know? Or what if you don’t know what you want and you’re hoping that seeing the options will help you decide. But then at that moment, there’s so much to consume you just can’t pick. Two examples that always come to mind are toothpaste and orange juice. Look at the toothpaste aisle. And literally its almost the whole aisle or at least one side with rows and rows. There’s all kinds of brands and each brand has specific focuses. So Colgate, Crest, or Aquafresh? Gel or Cream? Peppermint or Spearmint? Plaque remover, whitening, tartar control, or all of the above? Seriously! You wonder why people have trouble choosing things. OJ. Florida, Tropicana, Minute Maid? Low pulp, no pulp, some pulp, heavy pulp? Low acid, calcium, vitamin d, country style, etc. I don’t know, it seems kind of crazy when you think about it. But I really think there must be some correlation with indecisiveness and too many options. I also really do think people are more indecisive these days compared to people 5-10 years ago and that in 5-10 years we will be even more indecisive.
