Everything used to be so simple when you were younger. Why is it that life becomes much more complicated as you grow older? Is it cause of the amounting responsibility that you have to take or is it cause our perception of the world has changed through the use of education? Are we supposed to be empowered now that most of us are educated? Empowered enough to solve all of life's problem? The answer is no. In fact, I think that education really screwed us all up. Screwed us in the sense that we will never look at the world again like how we did 5 or 6 years ago or even when we were much younger than that. Cause education teaches you to look into a problem at more than one angle so that it would be easier to solve it. But, does this actually help? Usually, when we look at another angle, we may discover another problem which was non-existent to us before. Thus, the increase in our problems. Do we really need more problems in this already complicated world? Are we really so arrogant to think that we are clever enough or brilliant enough, to solve all of life's riddle? Who are we to be the judge of that? We are just humans. We may be at the top of the food chain, but what good does it do for us or should I say to the world? Our world is dying, pollution is rampant and animals are getting to be extinct. If that's the positive side of us being at the top of the food chain, then soon enough, Earth would be dead and just barren of life.

Anyway, that's not the point I'm trying to bring across. The point is " Don't make your life complicated as it already seems futile cause you're always being complicated.
