For example even the simplest thing like calling a guy you have a crush on takes so much thought, nerves, what should I say, what if he won't want to talk to me or doesn't call back - it could eat someone up alive. Or what to wear, technology (self explanatory) and so on. If humans were as smart as let's say a 10 year old and no more - enough to get food, have fun and live happily ever after would it be more better for the human race?
As children - we would surely be more happier and blissful, and that's a fact. Would it be better - no. As children we wouldn't be able to survive, our critical thinking helps us to solve problems and deal with difficult situations in life. We need an adult mind, but we also need to awaken our inner child. Balance is the key to happiness.
An ideal thing would be to have a heart of a 10-year old but mind of an adult person. We haven't been able to find balance so far. Happiness is so close - and children know that. And yet - we adults seem to think that happiness is somewhere far away and difficult to attain. It's so close, but we don't see it - 'cause we dwell on things too much. And if you think and over-analyze things, you'll see a flaw with even the most beautiful things in life.
The Byzantines (or Eastern Romans, depending on your personal view) survived for a thousand years. In that period of time, their Empire expanded and contracted depending upon the fortunes of their leaders and the state of the nations on their borders.
In a thousand years, the Empire expanded and contracted, but was never able to move far beyond the 'traditional' Hellenistic world.
The Ottomans, utilizing Asia Minor and much of the same resources of the Empire in the 8th and 9th centuries, was able to expand its borders far beyond what the Byzantines were ever able to accomplish.
Why is this?
I have grappled with this question, and while the differences in their cultures are many (religion, culture, language), how can the success and subsequent expansion of the Turkish state be explained?
At first, I considered Eastern Orthodoxy to have a pacifying and cerebral effect upon the Byzantine population, but in light of the dramatic success of Russian expansion in the centuries following the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, that can be ruled out.
Thoughts?
east rome empire wasnt small empire but it was in period of resulotion. this is fatal end for all empires.
expand borders depents on military power so Ottomans had better technology in military (like gun powder and strong big cannons) and better warriors
if byzantine were win the first war at 1071 then Byzantine would destroy Turkish Seljuq Empire, take their lands, fortune and expand their borders.

Does the Dog Die? A Brief Review of Deep Survival, by Laurence ...
How well do we adjust once outside our comfort zones? What if we are thrown into a crisis? How would we manage a survival situation? Laurence Gonzales addresses these and related questions in Deep Survival, a fascinating investigation of the way people behave when they find themselves in the midst of a disastrous situation.
Gonzales is an easy author to follow — there is a light charm about him that, when blended with his obvious intelligence, encourages the reader to accept what he says. He has wisely chosen to rely primarily on success stories, though he does give tales of failure as a contrast. For example, when writing about people lost at sea in lifeboats, he compares the actions of those who give up and die with the behavior of those who defy the odds and survive . Other examples include that of a teenaged girl who walked away from a plane crash alone and with a broken collarbone through the Peruvian jungle to a village where she found help, his WWII aviator father, and mountain climber Joe Simpson.
