Do you want to SIMPLIFY your life TODAY, and COMPLICATE it TOMORROW?
Or do you want to COMPLICATE your life today, and SIMPLIFY it TOMORROW?
What's the difference? Well, most people (also called ordinary people) prefer to SIMPLIFY their lives TODAY!
THINKING is a very complicated activity which makes life very difficult for most people.
For example, if I want to be eating fruits for the rest of my life, I can do it using TWO METHODS.
1. Get a job. A job is very SIMPLE in that it has a job description which outlines my duties and responsibilities, which I can tepeat over and over again, without much thinking.
With the salary, buy fruits.
Using this method I simplify my life today, because after each salary, I have money to buy fruits.
My mind doesn't THINK about HOW the fruits were grown, whether herbicides and pesticides and chemical fertilizers were applied, and the effects of these things on my health. I also don't think about the fact that when I buy fruits, I pay everyone, the farmer, the transporters, the middlemen, the supermarket staff, the supermarket rentals electricity and refuse collection.
TOMORROW my life gets complicated because if I lose the job, I lose the source of money to buy fruits, and again my money gets finished from buying fruits, leaving me broke. The fruits, if not organically grown, may cause me chronic illnesses, which lead to hospital bills.
2. Plant fruit trees. This option involves a lot of THINKING, which complicates my life. How to plant, protect, manure, water, prune the trees... Where to plant, when to plant, which varieties to plant....βββDifficult questions which complicate my life today.
However, if I complicate my life today, when the fruit trees start fruiting, they give me so much fruit, which I know how it was grown, I don't have to pay EVERYONE, and I can sell excess fruits, getting more money. Even if I lose my job, I will still eat fruitsβββ My life will be simpler tomorrow.
