Not That Simple

 

Simple gravity that every objects obey – Yet
Look at the solar system, and
The billions of majestic galaxies;
Each consists of billions of stars...
It is not that simple!

Simple laws of thermodynamics – Yet
Look at the earth's weather conditions:
From Ice Age to Global warming;
From Hurricanes, Floods to Heat wave...
It is not that simple!

Simple laws that the universe follows – Yet
Look at its creations, with
Total chaos and amazing orders;
Predictables and Un-predictables...
It is not that simple!

Simple evolution process that life follows;
We are just survival machines – Yet
Look at our creative reach and emotional depth;
And feel the soul in our spiritual mind...
It is not that simple!

The meaning of life...
There may not be anything big – Yet
Look at the power of Love:
Its euphoria and addiction;
Its joyful pleasure and painful suffering...
Life is not that simple!


P.S:

Though our world seems complicated, yet if we look deeply, we can recognize simple laws. Sometimes it takes guts to see and appreciate this. As Einstein said, "any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex... but it takes... a lot of courage, to move in the opposite direction".

When we talk about the simplicity of things, we are not denying their complex manifestations. Instead of creating cognitive dissonance in our mind — and suppressing and ignoring reality, we could cultivate an ability to hold seemingly opposing perspectives simultaneously.
