Complicating our lives is just another form of escapism

Uncomplicated lives are boring to the people who need a complicated existence to escape who they are.

Everything that this society is trying hard to do is to make our lives more comfortable. But there is a catch. It does not make you more comfortable without taking something from you that is vital and necessary: It is stripping you of your natural instincts and your natural connection to your core being.

Under the guise of a more accommodating existence, the world is making your life more complicated. Simplicity would only put you back to your path, quick and easy, something that society does not want because it cannot make profit off of that. Unassuming and uncomplicated isn't what you're taught you need. Nobody teaches you when you're a child that you all you need is nature and the understanding of it, not an urban conglomerate that suffocates your senses. Instead they teach a longer route to happiness, making you take roundabouts to get to something you actually can never even leave: yourself. "I have to find myself", you believe. But why do you want to find something that you never lost? Something that you never left from in the first place? This is such an uncomplicated way of seeing yourself, that it becomes a detriment to those who profit off of your pain. Pain is such a good business. Keeping people in pain, physical or emotional,is a guarantee to bring money and power to those who are keeping you tethered to your pain.

People who live uncomplicated lives have surrendered to whatever pain they feel only to see it loosen its grip. They have made it their goal to keep everything simple and raw. People who live uncomplicated lives take life as it comes. They see it as and for what it is, not for what they wish it would be. They align themselves with nature and therefore with themselves and find something that those who live complicated lives miss: peace can never leave us. It is ingrained within us. They see how nature has a wisdom so deep and so simple and so apparent, that we miss it out precisely because it is so blatantly clear. We don't see that which is most visible because we learn to overlook simplicity and bypass it as irrelevant.
