The Simplicity of Life

Life is pretty straightforward. Our main needs are:

• Food, water, and shelter to live

• Love, connection, and belonging to feel good

• Purpose and meaning to feel fulfilled

Nature follows simple rules, and even complex systems start from these basics. The main parts of a good life - kindness, honesty, hard work, and appreciation - are easy to understand.

Why We Complicate Things

Even though life is simple, we often make it complicated:

• Overthinking: We think too much, creating problems that aren’t there.

• Societal Expectations: Cultural norms and social pressures complicate our choices.

• Technology and Modern Life: Technology meant to help us often distracts us.

• Fear and Insecurity: Worrying about the future or comparing ourselves makes life harder.

• Desire for Control: We make things complex to feel more in control.

The Cost of Complexity

Complicating life can cause:

• Stress and anxiety

• Difficulty in making decisions

• Losing sight of what’s important

• Less happiness and satisfaction
