The Agony of Choice
According to one of the greatest sociologists of the 20th century, Zygmunt Bauman, we are always confronted with a choice, and that choice is almost always agonizing (2000). Why? Because the modern society has primed us with the fear of missing out. Once we make a choice, we automatically lose the possibility of ever knowing what could have been if we went for plan B. And if this was not true, I would have to be honest and say that there would be hardly any work left for the fortune tellers.
