Why You Always Regret | The Paradox of Perfection

Описание: Wei was paralyzed by choices. He couldn't pick a path, a job, or a partner because he was terrified that a "better" option was just around the corner. Shen sent him into a field of flowers with one rule: "Pick the best one, but you cannot turn back." Wei kept walking, passing beautiful flowers, waiting for perfection... until he reached the end of the field with empty hands.

The "Trap" is Perfectionism (The Ghost of the Best). Shen teaches us the brutal truth about Decision Paralysis: When you wait for the perfect moment to live, you are actually waiting for your life to pass you by. Based on the "Secretary Problem" (Optimal Stopping Theory) and Taoism, this story reveals why "Good Enough" is not settling—it is the only way to be happy.

The Lesson: "Perfection is a horizon. The closer you walk to it… the farther it moves away."
