Most Miserable New Word

IDOLSPIZE 

Defined as an emotion stemming from the psychological sidewalk-crack between envy and idolatry that we often succeed in jumping over, but once in a while, fall right through. That's where we meet them, those of superior beauty, character, talent & intelligence. In the case of friends who are never less than loyal, supportive, generous and kind, for this, we loathe them.

   - term coined by Ann Hornaday, Washington Post staff writer

 

Most Miserable Tendency

 

A superabundance of options is not a blessing but a recipe for madness. Those who seek out the best options in life are called maximizers and in every study, they are far more miserable than those who are willing to make do.

 

- "The Paradox of Choice" by Barry Schwartz
