Irrational Exuberance

What is rational versus what is irrational? I think that is a matter of bias judgement and what society perceive the norm will always change. Let's face it, we all judge what we don't understand and the first instinct is to say the person is irrational. For instance, yesterday I saw a lady walking on the street in a nice outfit with high heels. While behind her trails a white truck where a guys is asking her to come back in. When I saw that I said now that is irrational. What purpose for the girl to get out of her car and just start walking. Let say the guy did leave, then what? She is going to think back and tell herself that it was a stupid move, now how am was she going to get home if the dude did leave. But yet the guy did not leave and she got back in the car and maybe in some way she make her point. But for a guy like me I think that is crazy.

Then today as I was eating I saw some very heavy set guy buying a hot dog, salad, coke, and yummy churros. So obviously the dude is trying to loose weight. So does he think that by eating the salad after he eats the hot dog, down the coke, swallow the churros, and then finish off with a salad that he will actually be healthy. He should go all in and just devourer some greasy pizza and skip the salad. At least he did it with some style.

So what does that have to do with anything. Probably not a whole lot. But I came to try and rationalize whether I should use the weekend to catch up on my personal project or just take off alone to a foreign country for the weekend. As an irrational person.....I am going to Australia for 2 to 3 days. Hopefully when I come back, I can brink back the rational person with me.
