"La vie n'est pas complexe. Nous sommes complexes. La vie est simple et la chose simple est la bonne chose."
— Oscar Wilde
Simplified Meaning:
People often think life is complicated, but it's actually straightforward. It's us who make things complicated because of our thoughts, worries, and emotions. Imagine you have a garden. All you need to do is water the plants and pull out the weeds. That's simple. But if you start overthinking, worrying about the weather, the type of soil, or what others will think of your garden, you make it complicated. In everyday life, when faced with decisions, we tend to overthink. For example, you might spend hours deciding what to wear. But if you simply pick something comfortable and appropriate, it's easier. The advice here is to focus on what’s straightforward. When things seem overwhelming, take a step back, look for the simplest solution, and usually, it will be the best choice. This approach can reduce stress and make life more enjoyable.
