If you’ve ever attended an online party, you’ve probably
played the game. Which do you prefer? Sunrise or Sunset? Coffee or Tea?
Dogs or Cats? “This or That?” As I jotted down my answers, I started thinking
about what makes the concept of choosing between two well-defined entities so
appealing. I believe the neatness factor plays a big part. While we all know
the world is not cleanly divided into black and white categories, sometimes
it’s refreshing to have our choices narrowed down to a basic “This or
That?”
“Would you like fries or potato chips with that order?”
probably doesn’t require much thought.
However, when a server points to a list and asks me to “pick a
side” I often have to ask her to return in a few minutes, so I can mull over the
options. Decision-making is so much easier with an obvious either/or. If only life was that straightforward. But in truth we know it’s not. Because
we’re humans involved in complex relationships and with demanding jobs, the
daily choices we face are rarely as simple as “Chocolate or Vanilla?” Still, we
all enjoy thinking about those idle alternatives once in a while. It’s fun to
play with possibilities, and when those possibilities are limited, making a
selection is as easy as choosing one thing over another.
Here are a few “This or Thats” for you to try!
Please post your
answers in the comments section.
