I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, 'wouldn't it be much worse if life *were* fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them?' So now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe. - M. Cole

I refuse to comment for fear of incriminating myself. However, now that I have written this I think I need to read the post again to remind myself what it is that might be incriminating. I’ll be back …..

Having too much information makes decision making impossible. After we consider all the options we go with our gut anyway, which has the backing of evolution.

Jim-‘s reference is to a brain full of information making decision making difficult in the same vein as it affects memory recall and causes memory loss. Perhaps if I understand that I’m not yet a true seenager 😊

Also on a humorous note: On Sunday I found the perfect title for the book I’m not going to write, but if I did I would totally call it:
“O Little Text of Christendom, How We Still See Thee Lie: Reflections on the Bible, Reality, and a Decade of Deconversion”

Yep, glad I have my slow old brain, these youngsters with their fast young brains make decisions far to quickly and often get it wrong, whereas I rarely get anything wrong because I always intended to do what I did whatever that was. “Now where are those slippers”

I like the part about getting more exercise. I don’t need to go to another room. I just need to turn around ….. and wonder why I turned around.

Nan, terrific post. However, that acne thing. To me, God has a sense of humor. He lets me lose my hair, but still blesses me with acne. Since I stopped drinking thirteen years ago, I do have a sweet tooth, so that acne thing will crop up – not like a teenager’s but, more like whack-a-mole. This was fun, especially the comments. Keith

PS – I had an after thought. We need to bring back those teen songs with the new name, such as “Why must I be a Seenager in love?” Keith
