Is Life That Complicated?

Is Life That Complicated?

Is life that complicated.  My simple but perplexing answer is:  YES and NO.  It is COMPLICATED, no thanks to us.  And it is NOT COMPLICATED, again no thanks to us.  Really, the thing is, we make life COMPLICATED by keeping OVERTHINKING.  BUT hey, no less than the psychologists stated categorically that OVERTHINKING ruins you and that OVERTHINKING itself is NOT a mental illness.  So, Is Life That Complicated?  It simply means THINKING too much about something. And if we want a straightforward definition of OVERTHINKING.  YES, thinking in the past is OVERTHINKING.  And worrying about the future is OVERTHINKING.  That's the long and short of it dude📗📙📘

True, we live in a damn complex world.  NO thanks to mankind though.  Centuries back till to date, designs were pursued with the perspective to create the most attention-seeking product by adding WHATEVER grabs human attention. Ironically, research studies show that human attention is really depleting super-faster than ever.  And here's the number.  Our human attention span has now gone down to eight seconds.  Looking at things, looks like our societies are set up to push people right to the edge💢💢💢

BUT dude, would you agree most of us are just too busy to enjoy the 'business of living'?  One of the most unfortunate examples how even the English language is part of the complication is the way even words have evolved from being deeper to shallower.  WHEN I hear 'LEISURE', WHAT springs up to my mind is someone in a hammock strung between two palm trees sipping Tequila.  OR if NOT that cliche, then of someone engaged in a happy BUT intellectually undemanding activity like gardening or just movie-streaming in Netflix.  At the end of the day, I CAN'T help but to partly blame society itself for being so obsessed with work and output that WHEN we finally have time to slow down and think, we'd rather NOT think at all.  OR not to think too hard💦💦💦

Through the years, I did bear witness to one too many simple situations in life that spiraled upside down even overnight.  A child financially supported by the parents working overseas would end up spending close to ten years in his college studies?  OR a couple having a startup business and the cash register was clicking more often than expected so much so that they got tempted to beef up their manpower until one day, I saw them close their business abruptly💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Most of the time, we have our best intentions in life, unfiltered and unfettered by any other variables OR wild cards.  BUT along the way, WHEN new variables will get into the equation unexpectedly, we would sometimes end up losing a handle of the situation UNTIL things GO SOUTH, UNTIL things go awry, UNTIL we [wrongly] thought and felt that we were in full control of our situation WHEN in many cases, we were kind of in an 'auto pilot' mode.  WHAT most of us non-pilots are totally unaware of is that the 'auto pilot' mode does NOT guarantee safety because there are scenarios it CAN'T function.  So, IS LIFE THAT COMPLICATED?  YES and NO dude❗❗❗
