Essay under the topic of Life is really simple but we insist on making it complicated - Confucius(essay writing)​

Answer 1

Is your life simple? Or is it complicated? Simple is often understood synonymous to boring, stagnant or nothing new. Whereas, simplicity can sometimes be beautiful too.

Life is simple but we insist on making it complicated- this quote by Confucius really got me thinking. If you would’ve asked meabout this before, my answer probably would’ve been that those who say it is simple are fools because how can life be anything but a mess, the source of anxiety and complications.

But now that I’ve thought about this long and hard, I would say- it is it is humans are complicated and not life. We are the ones who tend to overthink everything and make mountains out of a molehill. We are the ones expecting the people to understand our needs without voicing them, as if those people have been gifted with telepathy. We are the ones who while trying on a dress think of whether every person would approve of it before approving it ourselves. We are the ones who before eating any comfort food calculate all the calories and the exercises we’ll have to do the day after. We are the ones who always try to read between the lines. And then we are the ones who say life is hard.

And sometimes all this pretence and fakeness makes us yearn for that illusory and elusive simplicity.
