This is reminding me of a book called Plain and Simple by a woman who spent some time as a guest in Amish Families. She found that she’d mistakenly believed that having lots of options was the right way to live, but the actual effect was that she wasn’t making decisions. The revelation hit when she realized she actually wanted something in particular, and ferociously re-decorated her kitchen in as somewhat Amish style. “Ferociously” seems like weirdly strong language, but she seemed surprised that she could really want something and go for it.
It’s a smallish thing, but I think it’s pointing at a pervasive modern error.
