The longer I live on this Earth, the more complicated life gets. The more complicated life gets, the more I fight it. The more I fight it, the more I fail miserably. The only constant in this life is change, but I digress. Yet still, I long for a time where life was simple. Where your neighbor may have lived 3 miles away, but you could still call on that neighbor for almost anything. Hugs were more common, family dinners happened every night, and a firm handshake was all the confirmation anyone ever needed.
We as a species and a humanity tend to over-analyze, yet the old adage "it is what it is," seems naive. Every simple action we take warrants an analytical perspective to get to the ins and outs of the what, why, and how it happened and also the individual involved. Love is love, hate is hate, anger is anger, and forgiveness is forgiveness. Sometimes we need to remember that.
I long for a time where we said what we meant, meant what we said, and did what we said we were going to do. In a world of short cuts, easy outs, and people trying to get over on one another, why can't we just go back to that famous acronym, KISS (keep it simple, stupid.)
While I know I'm a nerd at heart, love technology, really enjoy staying connected, and talking about those things, I really wish I had the time to step back for a while and enjoy a simple life.
