I always like options, but perhaps I haven’t had all that many most times. But I read an interesting article that said when people are confronted with too many options that are roughly equal in outcome, they have a much harder time making a decision and thus may take no action at all. There needs to be a clearly better choice among the many options to avoid decision paralysis. It’s an interesting idea. Maybe that’s why I don’t wear lipstick.

Nah. I don’t wear lipstick because I don’t care.
