Όταν φοβάσαι τις αλλαγές τίποτα δεν είναι εύκολο! Παραμένεις στον τομέα που ζεις ακόμα κι αν είναι η δυστυχία σου... Προσωπικά θεωρώ ότι μόνο με ψυχοθεραπεία μπορείς να ανοίξεις τους ορίζοντες σου και να τολμήσεις να κάνεις το βήμα προς την αλήθεια σου αλλά και την ελευθερία !!!! Σε ευχαριστούμε πολύ, για όλα όσα ανεβάζεις.

A very intriguing topic to delve into! It would be very illuminating and even surprising to explore how we end up making the decisions we take. It is true that we are often confronted with dilemmas when called upon to make decisions, be it mundane or more profound ones, with the left and right hemisphere of our brain in a constant fight. In my opinion, no matter how logical our decisions may seem, they are so much affected by our emotions as these are shaped by internalized experiences, expectations, or other forces, to the extent that we fail to realize how illogical these decisions might be. The situation we are found in or the emotional state we are in can blind us from seeing the negative effects of our decisions, leading to what Dan Ariely calls predictably irrational actions. So, I think that whether we like it or not, emotions drive our decisions. This can be better understood when considering the amount of money that is spent on advertising products to fuel our consumerism drive by employing techniques that appeal to our emotions or even to the subconscious level. As Maya Angelou once said: “people will forget what you said…what you did, but … will never forget how you made them feel”. This is a clear indication of the power of emotions. Our minds can deceive us in subtle ways, contributing to irrational decisions that are often triggered by our emotions. Would it be easy though to understand how our emotional side tends to affect our decision-making so as to avoid lamenting on our decisions? In my opinion, it is really difficult to ensure that the choices we make are guided by both emotions and logic; it is something difficult to attain, but is it necessary to be attainable? I absolutely agree with what you mentioned towards the end about happiness and sorrow. In our pursuit of happiness, we have forgotten that “salt” has an important role in our life, too.
