The Simplicity of Life

Life is often perceived as complicated, but the essence of living is fundamentally simple. Many people get caught in the fluctuation between happiness and sadness, dependent on external circumstances and desires. This struggle stems from a desire to obtain what one thinks will bring happiness, leading to continuous worry and dissatisfaction. Ultimately, true fulfillment comes from recognizing that life can be experienced with ease rather than being trapped in a constant cycle of wanting and resisting.
