The article explores how frequent categorization of experiences as 'good' or 'bad' can hinder our ability to engage with the richness of life. It highlights that such instinctive evaluations obstruct curiosity and a deeper understanding of our surroundings. The author, a philosopher specializing in happiness, argues that this evaluative mindset restricts our experiences and can lead to missing out on the beauty and wonder of everyday life.
The more you instinctively react with a 'good' or a 'bad,' the less of the world you take in. You’ll be less likely to engage your mind, exercise curiosity, and have interesting experiences.
When you instinctively label something as good or bad, you focus only on the features that make that thing good or bad.
