Embrace Complexity Over Convenience

Being human involves the ability to navigate complex emotional states rather than defaulting to the path of least resistance. Frequent reliance on easy answers indicates a tendency towards living on autopilot, driven by the need for certainty in ambiguous situations. For instance, when faced with an unexpected event, such as a mysterious object in the sky, the instinctual response may be to label it as a UFO, simplifying the experience to alleviate fear. This tendency can lead to unnecessary stress or misinterpretations, as seen in interpersonal scenarios where lack of communication fosters feelings of rejection. Acknowledging and confronting these emotions enables a more enriched and authentic experience of life, rather than avoiding discomfort.
