life is simple or complex

Years back when I was in high school, life then was relatively simple. Years have passed by and now we are confronted with lots of issues, lots of problems, and lots to care about. These are political, economic, social, moral and enviromental issues, and at once we know that our world, and life is never that simple anymore. gone are the days when people find their neighborhood to be peaceful and safe. today, killings and other crimes to life and property abound in the most unexpected places. Our world economy has been threatened as the oil prices continue to rise by leaps and bounds. there are more issues now on dysfunctional families, causing more and more people to suffer from depression and other forms of mental disturbances. The family now has lost its influence on people, especially young children who are more influenced by their peers, media and the world. Gone are the days of simple lifestyles and simple joys. we have become materialistic, more and more of us have been alienated brought by industrialization, pollution, rise of the urban poor, and so on. These are a few reasons why I can say that life now has become so complex....

well my life is surely complex. jus wen i feel tht all my life cnt get any worse somthng worse hppns. its surely not simple since i don find answers to my life's question easily!

complex coz i cant understand my life right now..

The answer lies mainly on how we perceived life. Often times it is just simple, but there are times when it could be so complex. Situations and everything around us could affect how we view life. Living is great and life is indeed worth living. There is nothing more complex in life, we are just the ones who are putting these comlexitites. It is our own choice if we want to live our lives in the simplest way possible. For me, I want to view life without those complexities. It is better if living is free from stresses and negative thoughts. I want to live life to its fullest, diminishing all the dramas at hand.

It is the way you see it and feel it and live it...it can be very simple....and on the other hand very complex.

for me life itself is a complex entity. the life we lived has been influenced by so many factors that we tend to enjoy, suffer, ignore, and accept it as it is. our interaction to each other is already a complex type of relationship. while we may be doing good things to someone may not be considered good to others (here comes the misinterpretation of your intentions why you are doing it) and that makes the life's situation more complicated. we are always bombarded by so many ideas that our lives become so skeptical we don't know exactly where we are leading to. mostly the things around us contribute to the complexity of life we have. it's more on the inter relationship we have with other people and the kind of environment we live in make our life more exciting, more sophisticated yet worth living.

I guess it's a matter of how you view things. Some people in my neighborhood were up in arms because the school bus stop changed. They wrote letters, complained, had the news stop by so they could air their opinion. As far as I was concerned, the bus stop change means that my kids will have to walk a block or so further than they did before. To me the situation was simple, but to others, it was complicated. I think life is what you make of it.

Complex on a cellular level and why mankind has to have so many prejudices and suffocating fears.Otherwise it's pretty simple.

Do you know it is a very interesting topic for me because I don't feel that life is improtant, I don't feel that I want to live while my life is good and I have no problems but life is useless it is only a long journey that begins with studying for a long time then working then making a family then dying so what is important all the people do the same stages in their life and after all that if you stayed alone and think of what you've done you'll find nothing you only walk with life as it moves forward everyday, so to live or to die is the same what is important you never choose you walk with your destiny

In theory, I do agree with you that we choose the life we like. In reality, I do not agree as we are what we make ourselves to be. However, whatever we make of ourselves may not be the life we want. I wanted a bed of roses, but what I got are thorns, pricking me from head to toe. I wanted a fairy godmother but what I got was a domestic housewife. I wanted to be a doctor, but I got no where even a clinic assistant. Do I get choose the life I want? I wanted a simple life, but life gets complex, not by my own choice.

hi mari...you kinda answered in the discussion itself but still i would like to comment on this discussion as it has baffled my mind at some time of my life...my answer to this is life is simple...life is very simple if we stick to the basics and stay close to the nature...but the real truth is that no one does and as humans have grown and civilisations progressed life has become more and more complicated and more and more demanding...we are making our lifes complicated...if we see every complicated situation in our life deeply and closely we will find that the ones behind making them complicated is none but ourselves and then we blame all sorts of things...like life is difficult...my luck is hard...but the truth is we like making things complicated...and presently we are facing so many consequences of that...problems in marriages,teenage problems and so much more all because we have made our lives comlicated...i guess this is the drawback of the so called advancement we have reached...so my suggestion to you is make life simple and you would know after all its not just a dream...its a reality....may god bless you...take care...bye

I think the life have both simple and comple,when you living a happy life,you will think the life si simple,the life are full of nice things and happy.you will consider the times will past so fast. But when you living a unhappy life,you will thinked the life is very complex.You are right,the life is short,we must choose the best life,it will make you feel comfortable. Sometimes when i want to do sometings,i will try my best to do.I don't want have any pity when i get older.so i always try my best to do.

life is definitely simple...it's people who complicate it...

I have always been a simple woman by nature and I think it is the key to happiness in my life. I am satisfied with what little I have and am content to watch a sunset then spend tons of money at the theatre. I recently started dating a man who does not have a job due to an injury. He was in several relationships where the women took and took, and when the money was gone, so were they. He appreciates a woman who accepts and loves him for what he has to give from his heart, cuz right now that is all he has to give...and I too appreciate the fact that he loves me for me and not what I can give him or do for him monetarily. There is too much emphasis in todays society to make lots of money. To me it is a false sense of security. I became ill with Multiple Sclerosis and had to leave my job...my boyfriend fell from a cell tower and shattered his wrist...we both went from being able to afford life...to just barely making it...it can happen to anyone. Life is better when you can be poor and have very little and be truly happy, then be happy because you can afford fancy things...it can dissappear in an instant, and where would your happiness come from then?

life is a beautiful experience.. whatever it is simple or complex but it is worth living.. :) and if life will be simple then it wont be that exciting.. complexities make life more adventurous and enjoyable. complexities are a part of life .. everyone has his share.. some deal with it overpowering it while some let it overpower themselves.. it is purely how a person reacts and behaves in such situations that make complexities more complex or simple.

It depands on what you persue?. Or both.

Hi, mari123, I was dreaming many things I wanted to do in my life. Nothing I could do. I am a man of postive thinking but I had to face and live in such condition, I get nervous even day when I think about my past. With determination, confidence and postive thinking I overcome all the problems of my life but my dream of doing things of my liking remained as a mirage. Our fate has already been written on a unknown pages billions of years ago. Therefore we cannot change them; we are all programmed by God. We can live according to his programe. Let us face it.

I think life can be both at the same time, and I think some of us have the not so good ability to make life seem a lot more complex and complicated than it needs to be. I love my life, when I am enjoying the simple things in life with my family, but then I can complicate things by worrying too much about stuff that isn't so important!

I think it depends on different people,just as the standard of happiness.to kids,happiness is very simple,they can pass every day happily ,although there is some low in their life,but they can have a high spirit easily;but to adults,the happiness is complicate,the happiness have much to do with love,money and marriage and so on.so life is simple or complex has different answers.
