Why is it so easy to do things we know we will later regret?

I'm talking about staying up too late, but more serious things are also applicable.

Often we make these choices when in a bad state of mind or out of pure ignorance. Temporary good feelings seem to outweigh long-term satisfaction or benefits.

I try to remember that the weight of discipline is in ounces, while the weight of regret weights tons.

I like that. Hopefully I can remember it for later. Thanks.

It's dinnertime! Be our guest and grab a seat as we engage in frivolous, silly, unimportant, trivial, and meaningless philosophical discussions about things that don't matter.

Civil and polite discourse is expected(as if you were at an actual dinner table).
