Ever wonder why dumb people are in political positions? Or what some people's problem is? Or... why you're single. Ever just wonder about life in general? Why you do the things you do and don't? No? Well... you can just click right off.
Oh. you do. Great!
So do I. And I love to talk about it. I'm not saying I have answers, but, to me, thinking and acting is far better than running around a maze having no idea why you do things or worse... fail to do them. Maybe thinking about the "why" will help out.
This is a generalization, but to me, the people I see tend to complicate life. When asked why, some tell me, life is complicated. This is true, but such complications should not complicate our actions. Life can be surprisingly simple. And through thinking more simply, we can make smarter choices and understand even the most complicated problems. The easiest metaphor I can think of is basic addition. Addition problems come in all shapes and sizes,
1.) 2+2=4
2.) 3+10=13
3.) 3xy+4xy=7xy
4.)1,000,000,000+1,000,000,000=2,000,000,000
but the underlined principle to understanding the problem and the answer never changes. Not to say that understanding life is as simple as addition, but it kinda is. Number four could have been extremely daunting in comparison to one, but when addition is understood, the question doesn't look quite so scary.
What I am saying? I am saying that life is just as hard as it has ever been but thinking about it simply before adding in the "complications" can save a lot on Advil. Mathematics, to some degree, can explain these things because, like life, math offers us just as much beauty and complexity that can be completely understood by simplest frameworks.
But what about emotion you cold heartless bastard? Yes. emotion too. I will explain. This is not utilitarian at all.
This blog will cover that. But for now. Chill.
