By offering junglejim that observation, I didn't intend to promote any particular conclusions about it. The choice of wisdom may be correlative rather than causative, subconsciously rather than consciously determined. Now that I think of it, that seems likely enough.

One thing that just popped into my mind is "Life is short, eat cookies." And with that, I've got to get ready to go out to lunch with my wife.

Or as Goethe put it "Life is too short to drink bad wine".
