Life is complex. But is it?
Yes, it is… Are we sure? What makes us so sure about it?
These questions started popping up in my head.
Is LIFE complex, or do we make it complex, or do we make it feel like it is complex?
Do the ants, cats, dogs, or other living creatures consider their lives to be complex?
People like talking about how life used to be simpler. By their theory, people who had to hunt and gather food to stay alive had more simple life…what a strange notion…
So, why do we choose to see our day-to-day life as complex? Do we always compare to something else or someone else? We have an image of what a more simple life should look like, though it is blurry, and we do not necessarily want it either. This vague image is stuck in our brain. What if some solutions are so straightforward that we cannot fathom them.
We hold an uncomfortable position; our legs start shaking. Our Teacher says “So what? Let them shake”. Huh…what a simple solution to the problem…
We feel tightness in our chest, stress building up…we need to breathe, though maybe we need to learn how to breathe…but isn’t that a simple solution? Simple does not mean instant, it means seeing path towards solution clearly.
We have uncomfortable thoughts, unpleasant memories…so? We can recognize them, spend whatever time we need to process them, file them, and move on…most people would say that it is not that simple. But isn’t that up to us to make that decision?
I am rewiring my brain to see simple solutions clearly…
