When did life become so complicated?

Why do they say life is complicated? Why do they teach us how to live? Why are there hundreds of professionals to take care of our physical and mental wellness? 

I live a simple life. I eat when I'm hungry, I drink when I'm thirsty, I sleep when I'm sleepy, I rest when I'm tired, I rush when I'm late, I brush when I wake up, I bath when I smell, I take a leak when my bladder is full, and I walk sometimes, I run sometimes, I help my mom sometimes, I meet my friends sometimes, I spend time with my family sometimes. 

I work during my work hours. When they need me, I help others. I buy what I need and save what is left.

I blush when I see her, and I flush when I'm near her. I tell her if I love her. I hug her if I miss her. I kiss her if she permits, and we marry if she accepts. We make babies when we are ready, and stop when we have plenty.

I cry, I laugh, I hope, I cope, I fear, I cheer, I expect, I respect, I bend, I mend, I live, and let live.

I wonder, when did man unlearn what to eat and when to sleep? When did man stop caring for himself? When did man forget to control his own emotions? When did man learn to love animals and kill men? 

What a shame it is that all the animals around us still remember how to live. But, we have been so busy with our lives that we forgot to live.

All we need is a realization that - life isn't good. Life isn't bad. Life isn't simple. Life isn't complicated. Life definitely isn't just about happiness. What good is an ocean without all the turbulence?

Life is what it is. It's just perfect with all its imperfections.
