"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." - Einstein
I ve always tried to keep things as simple as possible (definitely not this blog), at least to myself. It has helped me a lot in dealing with some really tough situations in my educational pursuits. But the more I try to do this when dealing with my personal life, the more complicated it gets. Never a day goes by without me thinking about the strange innocence of my younger days. Things are much more complicated --- atleast its what everybody says, though I am never in a position to understand why this is so.
Chemistry seems to be much more easier when seeing myself dealing with a social situation. I am kind of stuck in an infinite loop, where none of the parties involved are able to explain the need for such a behavior and why, being "simple" is the most complicated thing in this world, filled with people ready to give in opinions wherever possible without ever realizing their "unimportance && irrelevence".
I didn't face this enigma back in college where I never bothered to interfere into issues concerning "others", whosoever it may be. The first time I tried to involve myself in bringing people together (without ever thinking about how complex things can be), I realized the web of uncertainities existing amidst people and could never understand what is required to make things work in such a society. It was definitely a rude shock and I decided that I would be better off with a book of M&B rather than "waste" my time stuck in this black hole filled with dark energy.
But being back at home it is becoming a necessity to deal with such situations where you are not given any options. Friends for that matter are a lot more flexible assets. I also feel that now is the right time to try and understand how to deal with the uncertainties, more because now I have nothing to lose as I am still in my college life, but I am slowly starting to feel that dealing with things later can be more disastrous.
Throughout my endeavors, I ve tried my best not to be like someone else. I think the most challenging task would be, how different a person I am going to evolve being surrounded by people who desperately try to find hidden meanings and interpretations to each and every action of others to justify the person they are. It is going to be the toughest fight in my life to conciously fight the influence of others and emerge as a person who can be looked up and felt as "This is what may be called as simplicity".
