Life is complicated. I'm sure we all agree to it. Some people have bigger problems than others. While some has lighter problems. We do experienced a lot and most of them is not pleasant at all. But why sometimes we tend to add more to the problems that we already had maybe not intentionally. I just wished life is easier so that we can all have a smile plastered in our faces as we passed each other in the streets. But the reality is hard to ignore...in the streets you can see grim faces of people...the worries is evident in their facial expression. How about you? Do you find life a bit complicated? Please share and thanks for reading.

I do agree that lfe is complicated and this gets accentuated with many interactions with many people.THe problem arises because we keep transacting with others for something or the other .When our ideas and the other people's ideas do not match then complications arise because then there is a silent tug of war and conflict of interest.THis is how life is simple when there is a small family , plenty of personal space given and less intense interaction among relatives , friends etc.., [Just friendly interactions do not cause problems.]and proper sense of values in a house where everyone does one's duty and leads a simple contented life without expecting much from life. Now , there are other major problems also caused by illhealth, accidents , budget deficit, future uncrtainty etc..These are real problems.Otherwise, many of us normal human beings tend to complicate issues unnecessarily too.I try not to but in my need for people interaction I get into trouble at times. Otherwise , I try to be simple and uncomplicated.

To your question as to hwy we add to the complication I would onl say that it will all point to one thing-some sort of expectation/however simple and uncomplicated it may seem is the cause for complication.If we are not complicated and have no expectations , when we interact with people we would be a part of it.Basic expectation makes life complicated.

I find life to be somewhat complicated but still try to keep a smile on my face. Whatever problems or issues I may be facing, I don't see why I still can't remain as upbeat and as postive as possible. Constantly frowning and being miserable won't suddenly make things any less complicated, afterall. I do see the grim faces that you speak of in the street, however; and they are definitely hard to ignore. I think that one of the biggest reasons for the sadness is rooted in the fact that people seem less inclined to talk about their complications these days. Sometimes talking is all it takes to lift a heavy burden off your shoulders.

Life indeed is so complicated and very hard because I experienced that. I have many problems that can't solve anymore like the problem in my health. I feel envy to those people who are blessed with their life. They don't experiencing what I'm been through right now.

I agree that life is complicated. When I was still a little bit younger, I often wondered why sometimes life seems treating me so badly, but now that I reached the peak of my emotional maturity, I completely understood that life has its thorns and roses, it may offer wonderful opportunities of happiness sometimes, other times life brought us misery and sadness. But that's what human being is all about, we really have to experience complication and misery to appreciate our precious existence and trust that God never forsake those who believe in the value of prayers.

It is true that we dont know what is coming and tomorrow in the things we are doing now. Only God knows everything in us because He is the maker of all things here on earth and also men. It is complicated as it will come up sometimes and we got astonished to it and why it is happening. But in the trials that we have met we can learned out of it as we go along the various complications in living on earth. We are given trials and hardships to GOD for us to be strong and confident to the next step/ lebel of hardships to tacle on. So we must have strong faith and make it longer so that we can follow what JESUS has made for us and so with his good deeds and examples.

Yes! Life is extremely complicated for me. In everyday in our lives we face so many difficulties and sometimes it's hard to explain why it happens. For me when I feel like this seems complicated, I just imagined the all this was just trial that I need to accomplish, a little bit prayers and smile for a moment it makes me forget that life is complicated.

In my opinion, life is simple. It's us who make life complicated. If only people are content for what they are, for what they have then it is simple. But it is in our nature to long for more, so we tend to stress ourselves to get what we want. We face problems everyday but that's normal. But sometimes problem arises without our knowing it would, then we again stress ourselves to solve that problem. But only if we see life in a positive way, we won't mind having to face problems everyday. It's part of our lives and it made us who we are now. So enjoy life. Share the love to each and everyone you encounter everyday, smile at them and be happy you made someone feel loved by just your simple smile.

Hi lyzabelle! Unfortunately, life is complicated! And it isn't always easy to smile sometimes when you have alot of things on your mind! When you are worrying about things like bills or medical issues it isn't easy to just pretend that life is all fun and games! So, there are times when you look at someone and have no idea what they are thinking and why they aren't smiling! I know that there are times that I am out and have things on my mind and don't feel like pretending that everything is all right with the world! People are just doing what they need to do and can't always worry about what others are thinking or about smiling for the sake of others! When I see someone that looks like they are deep in thought I respect their privacy and hope that things get better for them! That's all you can do!

I do agree that life is complicated yet beautifully simple. We don't know what gonna next. You are thinking something and planning and the next time you observe that something different happened. Complicated and simple are actually two sides of the same coin.. Most cases, life's complicated because we make them so..so much emotions, situations to deal with, relationships..human life is complicated as we misanalysed our lives so much..Life is to enjoy. Enjoy each day and you will understand the real meaning of life.

Yes I agree that life is complicated. It is hard to balance it. There maybe rich people that we envy but they too have their own sorrows. Oftentimes, rich people suffer from health problems. I wouldn't hope to become very rich but sick. I will rather stay living a simple life blessed with good health. Right now, my family is undergoing some problems but I know this will pass. Sometimes we are made to face problems to be able to learn from them and be stronger.

I agree that life is complicated. if everything we wanted in life came too easily or too freely, we would not appreciate the rewards of life as greatly. We need to learn appreciation for what life grants us. Sometimes it comes with great joy while at other times it involves hardship and sacrifice. Take each day as it comes and greet it with all your heart. You may be surprised where the road will take you.

Personally, life is complicated because we're the one who responsible for it. We chose it and we made reasons to make things complicated. It's just how you view things in life that you should understand it rather than get blinded by things that hinder us to become what we can be, to reach our goals and dreams because we're still unsatisfied and we question everything. We can just overlook it and live this life that makes sense, to your fullest potential and bring the best as you can be...

Say no more Lyz. I totally agree life is complicated and is not a bed of roses.We all wish that life would have be worry-free. But then again we can't call it life without complications, right? And it would be boring.

yes, life is really complicated if one of your family dis agree with your decisions. for example i want to have bf now but may parents don't allow me because they are afraid that the guy will hurt me. but for me its time to have relationship so that i can enhance my ideas. having a relationship can make me grow. its complicated because they don't allow me to experience happiness and heartaches in life. we all know that life is full of mysteries. how can i grow if all my decisions will be blocked by my parents or friends. but the best decision for me i will accept relationship i want to prove to them that they are wrong in controlling my life.

I believe that life is complicated but it is not a reason to enjoy life. .. There are many other persons who have greater problem than us .. . just come to think of it ... I would not waste my time worrying at so many problems. .. They always have solutions.

Life is very complicated right now. Between medical problems, work, marital problems, children, etc., there's a lot going on. But a lot of it is good...

Well, we live in a real world so we really go around the wheel. We sometimes go on top and sometimes go down. Have you ever wondered that when you're down, the wheel turns slower? hmm, And the times when you are atop, the wheel turns quickly that you didn't even enjoy much being on top? I guess it's how God created us to be strong. If we would go through life easy then we may forget about Him. So trials are made for us to be strong and not made to curse God about the life we are living.

Hello Lyz!! I agree with you. Looking forward and just smile. It makes a lot of difference. It can make the people you meet be happy and get connected with that kind of expression. Life is pretty difficult its how you show the world that no matter how hard it is you can still survive and be able to face it with a big big smile~!!!

well i am not a very great thinker about life and stuff . i would say that when i am happy i am extremely happy and enjoy life to the fullest! at times of trouble, oh yeah i break my head with worry or solutions. but i don't go down too deep into anything! plus i think life would be great only when we have ups and downs too. just imagine eating sweet all the time. boring right? u would need some spice too :)

Yes, life definitly is complicated, but it's up to everyone personally to make it worse (more complicated)or to make it easier. It depends on yourselve how you manage life, if you are a positive or negative person. Your mentality has a big influence on your life. For someone it might be easy to manage problems, for other ones it's quite difficult. How do you manage your problems? If you are a positive thinker, you can resolve your problems quicker than if you are negative, so you should not convert a small problem into a one. Of course, we cannot influence about all problems, but we can try to do our best. I personally understand live as a school and problems which appear are my homework and as those I have to do my best to resolve them. With every problem we try to resolve, we learn something new and with everyone we get resolved, the next problem appears, will be easier for us to manage. And we get more force and get stronger with every problem we resolve.
