Sense in simplicity.

Inspiration hits when you least expect it. More so, realisation. The littlest of events can trigger tremendous understanding of the deepest ideas.

So many options throng the world today. Life can be as complex, or as simple, as one chooses. Take for example the driver interface in the Audi A6 or BMW 5 series. The MultiMedia Interface (MMI) in the Audi, and the iDrive system in the BMW are a complex setup of full-functional touch activated interface. Every little function is controlled by a touch on the screen, or a turn of the knob. Volvo, on the other hand, offers a simple menu, with quite a few buttons. When the novelty of the touch screen wears off, and you're through navigating the endless menus and options for something as little as home lights, you'll end up wishing there was just one button that actually did all of that, which is what is offered at Volvo. Sense in simplicity.

My point is, why complicate life when we can make it simple. Why beat around the bush when talking to people or making conversation. I just got off the phone with someone I've barely known, but that one person has spoken and made the most sense to me in the few hours we've met and talked, than most people I've known for years.

Why do some people ponder so much during a regular casual conversation? Is it that they expect it to be complex, is that what is always expected? Why can't it just be a simple sentence followed by that glorious punctuation mark called the full stop? If someone's asked, "How do you like the cake?", the response can vary from, "Mmmm.." to "It's so good. I love the creamy, chocolate layer. It reminds me of when my...blah....". And when someone does say something like, "It's good." It is taken to be something completely different.

What I also realised after my little conversation, is that some people just don't accept the simple statement you make for what it actually is. Just a theory, but, do they actually look for complexities, sarcasm, pretence, what? And then, they miss the point entirely, let alone not listening to what is being said. Why make it complicated for everyone? Why can't things be just what they are? Why, in some situations, make things much more difficult than they already are?

Life is just meant to be lived. As are dreams. If you see your life in your dreams, how hard can it be to go ahead and live your dreams?

Uncomplicate. Live. Simple, and effective.
