TIL: Solomon's Paradox

Solomon's Paradox highlights the irony that while King Solomon in biblical times was known for his wise advice to others, his personal life was fraught with problems.

The paradox suggests that people often find it easier to understand and advise others on what to do to achieve their goals, while struggling to apply the same clarity to their own lives.

The main character concept (imagine being the main character in a movie, be "detached") is proposed as a way to gain a detached, wiser perspective on one's own life, akin to Solomon's external viewpoint on others' lives.

This perspective enables individuals to overcome personal biases and excuses, allowing for clearer decision-making and goal-setting.
