Every moment, there are a million opportunities presented to us.

We could take a nap, or go for a run. We could scroll through social media, or read a blog. We could call a friend, or play a virtual game.

Every moment is a hedonic buffet, and we choose what we want at that moment.

If somebody kept piling oysters on our plate, we might appreciate it for a bit, but oysters ultimately get tiring. We would ask them to stop, and take a break or try some other things.

How we spend our time is up to us. And usually, the best path forward is acknowledging that we do have a choice.
