These days, I have talked about the laws of pudding. Although it was a small number of articles, it became one of my favorite concepts. Let’s wrap up this topic.
Announcement of the new category
First, an announcement. I created a category for the laws of pudding series. (Category: laws of pudding)
If you want to refer to past articles related to this topic, you can use that category. The category list is on this footer. It has many past concepts I created. Since it is already messy, I want to organize it at some point, although I don’t know if I would be motivated.
What are the laws of pudding?
The laws of pudding are a collection of principles on how to get energy and hope in our lives.
If we are empathic and logical, we have two criteria: empathy and logical sense. Bias towards empathy often drains us of the enjoyment of life.
They affect us in the following way:
- Empathy amplifies the amount of enjoyment, but it prevents us from gaining new pleasures. It makes us repeat the same thing.
- Logical sense cannot increase excitement, but it gives us something new to enjoy. It allows us to progress and change.
If you want to obtain various joys, choosing the latter, the logical way, would be better.
My case
Rationality tells us what is unnecessary and what is essential. We remove inefficient, superficial things and add fundamentals. That makes our lives easier.
In my case, I have been interested in custard cake for a long time, but I avoided tasting it by making various excuses. I thought that sweet things were unhealthy for my weak liver. In addition, they cost. I believed that if I got absorbed in it, it would ruin my liver and life.
However, as I began to decide rationally, I realized it was unreasonable.
Rationality allowed me to judge based on the moderate amount rather than good or bad. For example, sweets and sugar don’t cause a problem as long as they are within the capacity of my liver. The cost is the same. It is no problem if it is within the acceptable limits for my assets.
In other words, I have understood that judging good or bad is irrational. Deciding based on moderation makes sense.
That told me that it is irrational to eliminate all sweets and carbs just because they contain sugar.
I like sweet foods, including fruits. My old lifestyle, which excluded sugars as much as possible, was stressful.
Changing my life
Rationality gave me a balanced solution. I noticed I can enjoy them in moderation if they don’t affect my liver.
Last month, one of my relatives, who doesn’t know my liver’s problem, gave me cups of pudding. I was worried whether my liver could take it, but I decided to try. They were within my liver’s tolerance. I was relieved and impressed by the deliciousness of the pudding.
That made me remember I liked sweets. I realized that my strict elimination of sweet foods stressed me a lot.
Then, I finally noticed that I didn’t have to postpone my enjoyment any longer as long as it was within my rationality.
That made me start to enjoy my life.
Yesterday, I went to the grocery store and finally bought frozen custard buns, a traditional Japanese sweet cake called nijuyaki. I was interested in them for a long time.
Of course, I calculated the amount of sugar to stay within the capacity of my liver. I knew I could enjoy it with peace of mind. It was time to realize my dream!
It was an impressive experience. It was sweet and satisfied me.
That led me to the next stage. I found a new curiosity. Although pudding and custard have the same ingredients, I wondered why the taste was so different. That gave me a new joy.
Perhaps this is the efficiency of rationality. Although it was a small cost and sweetness, it improved my life significantly. I got rid of a lot of stress in my life. We can gain happiness even without a big achievement.
Conclusion
Anyway, that is the wrap-up of the laws of pudding series.
It changed my life and satisfied me significantly. It became one of my favorite concepts.
If you want to obtain various joys, I recommend judging rationally.
That might allow you to satisfy your life.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
