According to Schwartz, life presents us with so many choices that we become overwhelmed, and plagued with anxiety simply because we cannot make a decision. Schwartz believes that if we leave different situations up to serendipty, or pure chance, people would be less likely to agonize over choosing what they want.
However, I don't think it is wise for Schwartz to assume that most people will be satisfied with leaving their situations, decisions,choices, etc to mere chance, or luck. Oftentimes, I feel like leaving decisions up to pure luck can cause even more discomfort and anxiety. For example, if an individual "ended" up with a pair of red shoes, he might have difficulty being content with this pair of red shoes, this"fated outcome", only to realize that he had no other choice, no chance of obtaining a pair of shoes that he might have been content with.
Moreover, there are there are people who go into a situation knowing exactly what they want, and by leaving their choices to fate, they are being robbed of the opportunity in obtaining what they wanted.
