It is a bit frustrating reading through Ecclesiastes

[Angrboda]

I have a problem buying too much stuff and obsessing about small things. If I don't buy as much, I'll end up paying more for things and maybe doing without. If I don't go through things in my head before they happen, I'll be caught unprepared more often. On the other hand, is it worth finding room for all this stuff and the constant worrying about little things just to avoid those things? I'm not saying one way or another with you, but when we have troublesome mental habits, it's not often all good or all bad, there's a trade-off somewhere along the way which leads to those habits. And there are often incentives for us to maintain the behavior which we miss. We tend to be our own worst enemies, doing little things to shore up and maintain things we think we'd be better off without.
