There are times when being rational is a comfort. There are times, however, when one wishes that rationality simply wouldn't be around. In conversation today with a good friend, I was asked why I didn't pursue something that I certainly would have enjoyed greatly in the short term, and the only answer that I could give was that I knew it wouldn't be satisfying in the long term, and it would be worse all round. I am glad that I made that choice, but man, do I sometimes wish that I hadn't. There are times when I truly wish that I was more irrational.
