Yes I have.
The question that keeps popping up is Why can't it be simple?
Yes life is complex and it causes stress.
It appears that as it goes on it gets more complex.
When I was a child life had its' problems also. As I aged the problems became greater in amplitude.
I guess it is like going from high school to college and then on to Masters and PHD.
It seems to have its' own set of complexities.

Simpler? What could be more simple than having everything automated, and at the touch of a button. No, not really, I like things the way they are. I mean, I would give up pretty much anything, but don't under any circumsatance, take my toliet. That is the one thing I want to keep. Indoor plumbing.

WHAT simpler time?
People through the ages have been confronted with change, and each has felt that their life was too complex, I'm sure.
Things can be simple right now. Most things ARE simple, even if they are difficult.
What do I mean? Well...it's simple, really, to always tell the truth - it's not complicated. That doesn't mean it's not difficult.
Your life can be as simple as you choose it to be. You just have to value simplicity over some other things.

You know I really really do. I've been trying to keep it simple in my life by not being bogged down with things anymore. I just want to savor life and all it has to offer and get to know people. I just want to appreciate the smell of clover again instead of polluted air and smell fragrant flowers. Have you ever notice how flowers don't have much of a scent anymore? Save for Lilacs.

i imagine that "less complicated" can't be perplexed with "a lot less puzzling". yet I usually ask your self if there's a unfavourable result on people to be placed in an place of work and/or college ecosystem (imagine cubicle and table and flourescent lighting fixtures) for most people of our lives, because this "place of work" ecosystem has merely existed for with reference to the merely accurate one hundred fifty or so years. it isn't our organic habitat. earlier that, maximum people spent thier days on a non-regimented agenda and outside. certain, we may be able to adapt to it, yet does it demoralize us as a society? operating example, i ask your self what the suicide fee become 2 hundred years in the past as compared to today. i'd imagine that 2 hundred years in the past maximum people of people spent their days farming or being a tradesperson. there become no 40 hour time card artwork week, or information superhighway, or I "must have it now". issues were slower paced. So it become less complicated in that regard. yet there have been also no washing machines, dishwashers, tractors, etc., so the actual artwork become more durable than today. no longer to tutor the medical improvements that were made. yet become artwork extra functional decrease back then, as antagonistic to sitting at a table all day lengthy? certain, i imagine so. yet i'm no longer so certain i ought to stay with out air-conditioning, fairly in the course of the Tennessee summers ;)

Well, we do have a simpleton in the White House, but why isn't it any simpler out here in the real world that he's screwed up?....

Huck Finn is my favorite book, everytime I read it I wish I could go rafting down the Mississippi without a care in the world.

Yes I do...I remember being a kid when there wasn't anything to worry about and I wish life had stayed that simple for me.

I don't think things were ever simple. But i'd rather live with my eyes half-open than completely closed.
