Thought is the most futile entity there is.
The human being is a sucker for easy things.
"Easy" is the Reason, the average human lives a
below average life.
The average life of chasing his own tail and that of,
waking up every morning and plunging into his demise like clockwork.
You are probably going...
"Yes, of course, that is why I love being challenged and doing hard things"
But that is not the point I am making.
Nor that is the point from which I am seeing things.
For I have always found it utterly boring to make rudimentary points.
And it was not that long ago, that I grew tired of not
being at just any vantage point,
but at the absolute peak of human understanding and knowledge.
The Peak from where one can See and Understand Everything,
allowing them to be in one with the source code of the life
that beats deep in their heart.
Your statement is proof that you are not there yet.
Your statement may even be the sign that you will never get there.
But it is far too soon to comment about something so "heartbreaking".
I will not explain to you, in intellect, why your probable internal chatter
is doused in ignorance.
I will though, give you a glimpse of your unclear sight.
I will provide you two bits of information, which are really
the easiest thing about your penchant for "hard things".
The bits in themselves hide the Answer that you are seeking in the first place.
The "seeking" that has your eyes affixed on every new character it meets.
Here they are...
1. The Mind thrives in taking sides.
2. The Mind will do anything to know that it is doing the "right thing".
I must add,
the simplicity with which the statements above were stated,
does not do justice to the momentous weight they carry in this context.
For words, sentences, posts, and phrases are mere tools to the human Mind.
The same Mind that allows you their consumption.
The same Mind that "serves" you with its chattering.
And the same Mind that is the Reason behind the demise of the average.
If you were observant, you probably noticed how this post began
with a seminal line and then took off on a tangent towards
the "topic" of "easy" vs "hard".
If you naturally observed it, it is a matter of time you will
arrive at the crux of the matter,
and connect the dots between the first line and not just the rest of the post,
and every single character on this website,
but you and your entire life thus far.
For the real Message is hidden deep in the message.
Quite in the opposite way though, like how all things Ultimate is not
some mysterious secret that is to be uncovered
via a prized and arduous lifestyle.
It only hides in plain sight.
So Nature knew better.
Nature made sure to equip only the sincere at heart,
with the ability to see through the noise
that the insincere ones continually "create"
and consume, and in doing so,
axe their own foot.
Thank you.
