Often, what is easiest is best. Yet not always.

It is easier to reach for the candy than it is to cook a meal. It is easier to stay sitting in a chair than it is to get up. And so on.

I would like you to take life easy, yet I am not saying that making life easy has to mean taking the line of least resistance. Easy and line of least resistance are not always the same. Sometimes taking the line of least resistance creates more snags than it erases.
