Life is as simple as one makes it.

Life is simple. It really is. Living is not as complicated as people might think it is. Everthing is binary. You're either happy or sad, polite or rude, kind or cruel, bad or good. It's always one or the other. The combinations of these extremities makes life what it is. Life is a combination of infinite number of variables like these alternating between the extremities. In these infinite variables we look for happiness. Happiness, I think, is overrated. Voltaire once said, "The most important decision you will ever make is to be in a good mood". This is the key to happiness. One could go about their entire life in the pursuit of happiness and never find the trace of it. On the other hand just pretend to be happy and you'll eventually be happy.
One of the ways to make yourself happy is by trying and living life in the simplest way possible. Complexity always tends to make things complex. Putting a complex number in a polynomial equation always results in an equation that is a bit more complex. I always say, "Life is as simple as one makes it". If you want to talk to someone, text them or even call them. If you like someone's company, tell them, be with them. If you don't like someone's company tell them that as well. Be straight forward. If you like someone tell them. If you want to stay, stay. If you want to leave, leave. Lets just leave the politics to the politicians and the schemes and plots in the game of chess. You bring them out in the real world in your everyday life, it gets pretty bad pretty quick. I would rather have a person say, "I dont like you being around" to my face than to every other person he meets except me. Be empathetic, but know its easier to replant a sapling than a decade old tree.
We tend to stress ourselves, over imaginary scenarios. "We drink the poison our minds pour for us and wonder why we feel so sick" said Atticus. We think more about how other people would react to our actions and end up not being ourselves and henceforth making things more complicated than they actually are.
We don't really know what we're here for, we only get this life once, might as well live it simply and make the best of it.

Death Dessert theory.

Hello... Readers( which apparently are not many). I have come up with a new theory. I havent thought of a name yet. Maybe i will just tell you the name at the end after explaining to you what it is. On second thought i have named it... "Death Dessert". Cool huh? Explanation. Well, most things that are rare, are expensive. And most things that are expensive are most valuable to us. So rare things are valuable. And most people save the sweetest bite for the end. In other words, most people like their dessert at the end of the meal. Taking these two points under consideration, think about death. Death is rare. It only occurs once in everyone's life. And it comes at the end. After everything. It is the sweetest bite. The dessert of life. Maybe death isnt a bad thing afterall. Maybe death is a bite of sweet dessert after all the sour battering given to you by your whole life. Maybe death is the eternal goal. Who knows? Maybe the dead people cant come back or maybe they d...

Love

Wikipedia describes love as a range of emotional and mental states from sublime virtues and interpersonal affection to the simplest pleasure. It also describes it as emotional attachment and affection for a person. But i don't think that is all it is. Love can't be just affection for someone or a slight feeling of pleasure. It is something that every art piece in this world is based on so surely, love can't be something this simple. Emotional dependency and attachment is a nice way of putting it but still I feel they haven't captured the gist of it.  We hear stories about love, fairy tales, movies, listen to love songs and yet its quite astonishing that none of us seems to really know what it actually means.  I think I might have figured it out. Love is caring for someone so much so that when they feel the slightest discomfort or a hint of sadness In their life, we start feeling guilty for being happy. If someone you loved was sad or melancholic for whatever reas...

A smile my own way.

Greetings! Readers. Oh! That guy is talking to himself on the subway. Steer clear of him, he obviously looks insane and he probably is....Or is he? Everyone has heard the clichéd conversations about how we don't have time anymore. We all know, its true we don't, but nobody does anything to rectify that. I mean sure, after a hectic day at work, we've got families to take care of, homework to complete, assignments to write. But even when we're not doing anything, we find something to do... for instance facebook, Instagram or youtube etcetera. As I do, when I'm free I use Instagram, or youtube or find movies to watch; and sometimes when I can't fall asleep I watch Top Gear(The Clarkson/Hammond/May one) not because its a boring show or anything but because I have watched all the episodes a great many number of times and hence they provide a sense of familiarity and comfort and I drift off to sleep. The alternate option is that I just lie down and start think...
