The absence of alternatives clears the mind marvelously. (Henry Kissinger)

We often think that we live in such a marvelous world and that all the options we have just are awesome blessings that make life so much better. But, sometimes you will experience that simplicity and a lack of choices will make life so much happier and easier to live. Do you know what I mean? Let me give you an example!

Sometimes when we travel with our kids, we end up staying at places without a working Internet connection. What is the result? The tablets and the phones cannot be used to stream Netflix and content on other platforms. What is the solution? There is normally one TV channel with children programs available. Do you know what the result of this is? There are no other things to watch, so without hesitating, they all sit down to watch that program, even if they consider it to be terrible or not. They just go for it, since it is the only option.

But, when they are at a place with WiFi and with tablets and phones and computer, they are in a mess because of all the options. It is making life more complicated and more stressful, increasing their cortison levels, and also those of their parents!
