Complicated.
I faintly remember this label from my past life.
It used to be an option to state the status of one's relationship.
Perhaps it is still being used in "social" media,
I do not know or care to know.
I do know that "complicated" is the reality of people's lives.
From the moment a child is born,
to the moment that individual takes their last breath,
they deal with complex situations.
No matter how flattened or peaked the "bell curve" of their living
ends up being, behind its superficial glory,
hides their constant toil with these situations.
For the "bell curve" of them hitting their peak and
then declining to their demise, is actually, not a bell curve.
Yes, to the onlooker or the public,
such a living will appear as a life
of "having everything".
But what about their own visceral experience?
No one gets to glimpse that.
Not even them.
The Truth is that such a living is a constant aberration.
Like white noise.
Let that sink in for a little bit.
No matter how many companies one has started,
or how many trophies or grand-slams an athlete amasses,
or how many flings, partners, or relationships one hops between,
the absolute reality of their living,
not from the point of the public or their Mind,
but from the (universal) point of view of the Universe,
is far from a steady moment-by-moment Rise to the
crescendo of the Life inside of them.
No.
For "their life" sits on that Life,
never letting it Exist.
Yes.
"Their life",
is a highly twisted,
unpredictable and asymmetrical aberration,
and in most cases, a blatant abomination.
Simple.
This label hides the life that (ultimately) all humans crave.
From the human struggling to have his ends meet,
to the human basking in abundance.
And yet, like how it has always been,
almost all humans live in the exact opposite way.
They live a complex life.
For most, the complexity is obvious as in the introduction of this post.
For others, it is hidden in their chase for simplicity.
What (truly) is Simple?
"Answering" this, is complicated.
For I could say Simple is bland,
or that Simple is Nothing,
or that Simple is that which is,
but your Mind will make it sound "boring",
and you will only be lead astray.
For Simple is not (the reality behind) bland or boring.
Perhaps I can say, Simple is Symmetry,
or that Simple is Flow.
But even that is masking the vastness it hides.
For definitions and explanations never do justice to the Truth.
And it will take one farther from the prospect of its realization.
Perhaps we can settle for this...
The Truth behind Simple,
quite surprisingly, is all things magical,
and expectedly, all the things not
out in the societal world today.
Thank you.
