making it complicated.”

We have an ego that always wants to step in with lots of extra pride and complicate things, to look more important. We should live by faith, as a little child, no complications there. Ego steps in and we have radical groups who can’t wait for the war of Armageddon. Go figure.
Ego is an ugly problem and it does complicate things. Thanks for your insight, Leland.
I’ve no idea why we complicate things. Is it because we think there’s more to something than there is? If it’s simple, something must be missing? ❤
Neither do I. You may be right as to why or maybe we think we want to be more important than we are so we add complications to make it happen?
It’s a mystery to me.
So true!
True, but why? Seems we should know better.
WE complicate life without realizing it. We do not literally willfully look at the things we do as making life complicated. Oftentimes we fail to assess or think through our actions before we act then we must face consequences as a result.
You would think we would learn from the past. People are stubborn!
Awww, sweet Teddy! How old is he now? One of my favorite quotes that I found printed on a small piece of granite forty years ago reads “Life is not a problem to solve, it is a mystery to experience.” Sometimes we overthink it.
We do overthink most things. I am trying to change that about myself…seems a waste of energy. Teddy was 5 in November 2016. Hard to believe I have had him that long but then it also seems he has always been here.
Isn’t that the truth. Great quote.
Kinda sad isn’t it?
There is truth in this simple quote.
I agree but don’t why we let it be so.
so True.. we make it complicated.. heheheh
Don’t you wonder why? Maybe we aren’t as intelligent as we think we are.
No, it’s the other way round.. We think we are not intelligent and don’t use our capabilities to full.. we tend to demean our self that is the problem.. coz most of the time we are told you can’t do this you can’t do that.. so we are filled with negativity, instead of being a positive person.. and hence we tend to complicate things coz we can’t think clearly..
