Pros and Cons cum Passive

I have little in common with the Prince of Elsinore, but I have discovered by weighing pros and cons long enough, I lose decision-making motivation, or with decision made I have less action-taking motivation. I shouldn’t be surprised to express less opinion about things I have less motivation for because the need to self-express comes from motivating interior passions, beliefs and desires.

Yet my wife noted recently how I'll oddly give a catalogue of pros and cons as my opinion, and the realization was startling; though makes sense because I usually arrive at my opinion after some differentiating process of analysis. Of course, contrary to the incessantly differentiating and constantly balanced way of looking at things that I have, her opinion comes from a compact intuitive feeling which she has before the question is asked.

Now I wonder if my natural passivity comes from how I like to think about things just for the sheer fun of thinking about them, and find it amusing to differentiate things until I've analyzed them to abstracted distraction. It doesn’t matter if I don't like doing things because I think too much, or if I think so much because I don't like doing things (although I'd like to have the answer to that too), because I like answers and the process of getting them.

Indeed, while I don’t want to give up my wondrous world of differentiated existence, I'd also like to have the intuitive holistic compact understanding of the world and its answers; I want the process of thoughtful answers and the gestalt of passionate opinion. Apparently I want more will to power and motivation to action as well as my lack of motivation and natural passivity - and I suppose, being an uxorious and female led man, in a way I do have both, by being a part of the whole that is my wife and I.
