ANALYSIS PARALYSIS

man with hand on temple looking at laptopYou’re very intelligent.
Very smart.
Really?

You can drag a topic in a discussion,
To the core of its foundations.
Historical.
Philosophical.
Sociological.
Psychological.
Legal.

And yeah –
Including economics.
The fine prints you never miss.

You’re very intelligent.
Very smart.
Hmm.

You make arguments go round and round.
You run round in circles!

You philosophize till death.
You scrutinize all matters
Even the simplest.
You investigate –
From sunrise to sunset,
From dusk till dawn!
You use all available isms as your lens.

But what?

You find no answers.
No solutions.
No compromise.

Stalemate!

You make no decisions.
Your high IQ –
Paralyzes you!

You’re very intelligent.
Very smart!
Yet you fail to realize this –
All it takes is COMMON SENSE
To understand life.
All you need is COMMON SENSE
To comprehend
The mysteries of the universe.
