simple

 I want to live deeply, and what is deep is rarely simple.  To have a deep understanding is to explore all the hidden complexities of something. We are constantly inundated with all of this rhetoric about "living simply," but only animals have a simple existence. Eat, sleep, defend your nest/den from invaders. This is a simple existence. If you want it then have a good time. If you don't believe that anything exists other than your material being, then stop acting like life is deep and start living however you want. Nothing and no one else matters. But if you believe that there may be more to this than some chemical reactions between your ears, then stop trying to ignore the beautiful complexity of who we are. Dive, swim, poke, prod, jump, enjoy. There is much to understand, so think and ask questions.

Be complete.
