A friend of mine on Facebook posted this status and it truly caught my eye to how we as humans complicate everything life throws at us. Our ability to reason sets us up for a much harder path then necessary. --
"Humans are unique in their constant need to over-analyze the most basic of situations... Want to lose weight? - Take in fewer calories than you burn. Want to find a good relationship partner? - Find one that makes you happy more often then sad. Want to be successful? - Work hard. Want to be rich? - Spend less than you make. Want to be healthy? - Don't smoke, don;t drink, choose the salad, go to the doctor's often, and jog every once in a while. Want to be the best in your field? - Practice. Want to be happy? - Cut out the things that make you sad..... Everything can often be boiled down to a simple sense of balance - it is the emotion, the unreasonable analysis, and the illogical self-imposed ideology that takes a simple formula with an obvious answer and renders it needlessly complex.... Then again, maybe thats what makes us human after all." - Guilherme Torres Fonseca
