Question

Is it necessary to balance out the complexities of life with the simplicity?

Answer 1

It is only necessary because when you learn and understand what both sides mean, you know which side you tend to lean on.  You have to have some combination of both in your lives, to appreciate the one you like best.  If things were always so simple in your life and one day something challenging is thrown your way.... it might be too much to take in, and you would back away from conquering it.  So as you experience a little of both, you learn how to approach life with the good and bad, and you press forward a little stronger.

Answer 2

Perhaps all of life is a balance of the harmony of the energy of the universe (ki) in yin/yang, black/white, male/female, simple/complicated.

One can not have light without darkness.

One can not know happiness without suffering.

One cannot know the complicated without having experienced the simple.

Be well.

Answer 3

Yes. I say, bring simplicity into your life. Take out all that stress. Live a simple life. No need to copy, no need to worry so much.

Answer 4

I don't think complexity is what we always perceive it to be.  For myself, I often confuse complexity in situations where my desires are torn, when I'm feeling overwhelmed, when I've filled up the empty spaces in my life with overscheduling and trivial fodder.  It's when I make a decision, drop the unnecessary details, and pare down my life logistically that suddenly things are "simple".

I think the balance is always smack in front of us, and it is up to us to determine how simple or complex it really is based on fears and hopes.  Balance to me means more than assigning "Simplicity" or "Complexity" as labels; it occurs when I AM balanced and those labels don't matter.

Answer 5

no, it's essential to find simplicity in complexity... otherwise we would lose ourselves in the labyrinth of our thoughts and existence.

"The Path of Virtue," Jonathan Murro,

"The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock,

"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck,

"The Masters and Their Retreats," Mark Prophet,

"The Master of Lucid Dreams," Dr. Olga Kharitidi,

"The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis,

"Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves,

"The Overachievers," Alexandra Robbins,

are and offer examples of balance, opportunity, and insight.

You'd probably benefit by picking up and reading some or all of these authors.  Necessity in the event of causal sowing and reaping often asks clarification of complexities which are over-burdening, Gordian knot-like.

Answer 7

In a sense yes.  However we must also use the simple to battle/disect the complex.  Otherwise we just end up confusing/misleading people.  And that's just wrong.

Answer 8

It may not be necessary, but it's definitely possible.  For starters, it would probably be a good idea to figure out what your most important priorities are (i.e. family, home, relationships) and put attention on those things first.  If you do that, the other things in your life might just find their own balance.
