life is simple
hahas haven't blogged in long time. Maybe it's cos I haven't been emo in a long time. *shrug* <33 dance <33 MAD
In any case, had a wonderful dinner with pastor n youth fellowship exco on friday. Revelation of the year: Life is simple.
We only think life is complicated cos we're always trying to break it down, refusing to accept that we can't have everything and that everything that has a good side also has a bad side. And when we try to get only the good without the bad we end up with an insanely long action plan that duh will be complicated. In the end, we still can't get what we want and start emo-ing and complaining how complicated life is.
Take a typical complicated situation for example (fine it may not be the best example but it's the only one I can think of now): Your best friend and girlfriend/boyfriend hate each other and demands that you choose between them. Sure it can get complex and full of lies and whatnot. But in the end it's a simple question -- who do you value more? And once you've made that decision, stop thinking about what ifs and if onlys and start getting frustrated over it. That's making life complicated for absolutely no reason, cos there's nothing you can do about it anyway.
Life is simple. It's the way man chooses to look at it and deal with it that makes it complicated.
It's like happiness. Stop trying to be happy and you will.
