  • Hello.

  • I would consider myself to be a people observer.

  • I'm constantly observing people, analyzing them, trying to understand them, what makes them tick, why do they behave the way that they do, et cetera.

  • I find it really fascinating, for one, but also I think it helps me understand myself better.

  • I don't know.

  • Overall, I'm just a big fan of observing people, of analyzing people, of figuring people out.

  • But something I've noticed about people is that they tend to fall into one of three categories.

  • Category number one, people who are just aloof to the world around them, kind of clueless.

  • Category number two, people who are extremely aware of the world around them.

  • They have a lot of knowledge about a lot of different things, and they're extremely aware of what's happening in the world, what's going on around them, and even what's going on in their own brain.

  • And then you have category number three, which is people who are somewhere in the middle.

  • I'm not sure if you can decide what category you fall into.

  • I think you might be born into it just by nature.

  • I don't know.

  • I mean, maybe you could be naturally inclined to be in one category, but then force yourself to be in a different one.

  • But I think most of it is just who we are as people.

  • We're born that way.

  • But I've always wondered which extreme was a happier life.

  • Living with loads of knowledge, being hyper aware of the world, or being a little bit more clueless, a little bit more ignorant of maybe about the world around you, and just being free from complex issues, focusing on simpler things instead.

  • What's a happier life?
