Dear Readers,
Thank you for coming here!
Have you ever experienced those moments at which you made a totally irrational (not necessarily bad or stupid) decision, and afterwards you could not recall why or how you made that decision at all? You can only explain it with “Unbelievable and Unexplainable”.
I have, more than once. And the decisions (at least 7 of them) were definitely bad and stupid.
Apparently, other people have too, even to a much larger magnitude.
A Citibank employee transferred $1 billion BY MISTAKE and the bank is probably not getting the money back because a judge ruled against the banking conglomerate on February 16th.
Judge Jesse Furman of the district of Manhattan wrote in his ruling, “To believe that Citibank, one of the most sophisticated financial institutions in the world, had made a mistake that had never happened before, to the tune of nearly $1 billion, would have been borderline irrational.”
So why do these “Unbelievable and Unexplainable” things happen?
I have asked myself this question repeatedly over the past year. I just could not figure out why and how I made those decisions.
That was totally not me.
The only conclusion I could come up with is that: We are just not in control at those moments. There is a mechanism that is imbedded in us by “evolution” (“God” if you would) and that mechanism is triggered at those moments and simply takes over.
We do not know why or how the mechanism is triggered and we do not know when those moments will appear, which makes it almost impossible for us to see it coming and react to it.
Maybe that is it. Maybe that is what life is supposed to be.
Everyone has his or her destiny to fulfill a certain purpose after all.
The decisions that we could reply on rationality either do not matter to “evolution” or aligns with the path that is set for us.
We are just NPCs in a giant game. No matter how hard we try, we just do not matter, apart from fulfilling that particular purpose set for us.
What do you think?
I think I need to watch the Movie “Free Guy”! (This is not a sponsored post!)
Till next time!
