You can't make any important decision in your life because it's like trying to choose your favorite toy when you have so many to pick from, and they all look amazing at first!
Imagine you're standing in a giant toy store. Every toy is shiny, fun, and promises the best time ever. A robot that dances, a car that zooms, a puzzle with 100 pieces, how do you choose just one?
That's like making big decisions when you're 5 years old. You don't know what will happen tomorrow or next year. Maybe the robot will break, and the car might crash into a wall! So it feels like all your choices are equally good, or maybe equally bad.
The Toy Store Never Closes
When the toy store is always open, you can keep picking new toys forever. That’s like how life feels when you're young: new things and new choices come up every day, so it's hard to pick one thing for good.
But that’s okay, because even if you don’t choose now, you’ll get to try them all later!
Examples
