Why can't we get away from human distractions?

we can't... we have a need 2 beat other ppl
2 show we are better then them
and stuff like that
we were made this way
so we can't stay away from this stuff
but someone ppl try
by going on top of mountains
and living alone
or going into the forest
and jungles
but pretty soon they'll be occupied as well
so there won't be able 2 do that
but we are more competitive
with other humans around
hope it helps

...because life IS so ugly and complex...sometimes?
Human distractions? Whatz dat? Things human's do that are distracting; or things that only distract humans...or?
...as far as 'distractions' are concerned, they like the ugliness and complexity of life...they just are...
The sooner you learn that life is all the above and more--and make friends with 'them', the sooner you will come to be able to answer your own questions as 'to whys and wherefores' of all the various aspects of "life".
What exactly are you being "distracted" from or with?
You need to specifically identify and deal with whatever it is that is distracting to YOU--as more often than not, what distracts you will/does not distract others. And therefore, you may run into problems if you attempt to 'remove distractions' that are not perceived as such to others.
Believe it or not, distractions can serve as aides in developing the esoteric skill of what is termed as "attrition"--which is essentially to be able to not give "attention" (energy) to those things that "distract" one from "the path". No, this doesn't mean that you do not acknowledge that they exist, or suppress your reaction, but that you simply 'tune them out'.
You might consider carefully observing when it is that either a certain "distraction" appears, or any "distraction" appears, as this may give you a clue as to what it is that you are actually supposed to be concentrating/focussing on--which "the distraction" is keeping you from "seeing". The idea being is by definition "a distraction" is that which diverts your attention in a negative way.

Life is a -itch isn,t it. I asked a similar question a while ago and got greif. Maybe I did,nt ask it correctly. Most people are so hung up in their own life it seems they don,t honestly take time for others.
Case in Point----- Today I was coming home from work. A guy on a small motorcycle was stuck on the side of the road. I asked if he needed help. He was a guy a lot older than me. He said his Yamaha quit because he thought it was low on oil. Well I checked it out, being a harley owner and saw his battery cable was unhooked. I was in my van. I gave him a jump start and followed him to the nearest AutoZone where he got a nut and bolt for his battery cable. He asked what he owed me. I said you don,t owe me anything, but pray for me next time you get a chance. He got his bike fixed(suit and tie guy) and hopefully I got mentioned in his prayers. We all need help at times.
Thumbs up Don H, life IS what you make of it.

personally I believe we are on a path and when we come into this world we have decided what we want to experience or ammend... In a sense we are predestined to a hard experience or whatever that may be . Life is a learning curve for we will be back again... Hard to believe that we may actually have choosen to go through some of the B/S ... Just a theory !

Because life cannot be all happy and dandy 24/7. We need to go through ugly and rough times to appreciate those good times and be able to recognize them. Life should be filled with balance. Good and bad. It's usually through the rough experiances that we learn most from. Think about it.

Life is simple, what your ego creates and what you allow others to create in your life it is what makes life complex. Instead of allowing life's circumstances to dictate your life, you should go beyond the personal and see that life is nothing more than the experience. Don't take life personal.

If life weren't complex we would never grow. And I'd take a complex life over a simple one any day.

If our life were beautiful with roses, rainbows & perfection all the time, to what do we gain from the experience? Life is 'bout learning from one's imperfections and making the best out of it.

"Ugly" is the experience of feeling disgust and dislike (aversion). When people are prepared to learn new beliefs, those feelings pass.
