The Easy/Hard Game

Let's play a game that I call "Easy/Hard". Make a list of things that are easy and another list of things that are hard. The question is, why do we ever do the things that are hard? Easy is much better, isn't it?

In my experience, people who do hard things more and easy things less are happier.

Some things that are easy:

• Watching television
• Masturbating

Some things that are hard:

• Getting an education
• Marriage and children

Alcohol belongs on the "easy" list of course. In fact it's at the top of the list of "easy" things we do. If we want to be happy, we should be doing the "hard" things not the "easy" ones.
