Why is now more complicated than the past?
The self-help culture and modern society makes our lives so much more hectic these days. Technology is trending faster than our ability to be able to handle it. Progress has been happening ever since humans first became conscious about themselves.
We've used what we had at one point in our time and just found a way to adapt it into a new piece of technology, new idea or tradition. Now we have to have the latest tech gadgets on hand when we make a decision or risk being thought of as old school or behind the times. This requires us consistently updating ourselves every single day with new styles, trends, beliefs and skillsets that eventually creates an outcome where we become overwhelmed by what's going on around us and neither feel content nor satisfied about these things no matter how hard everyone clings onto them.
Whenever everything feels busy, overwhelmed and chaotic other times life can be very simple and carefree - moments that feel simplistic but really stand out and are worth feeling grateful for, even if they only last a short period.
Simplicity is often found in the most meaningful moments of life - that moment when you're newly married, your child is born or you spend time with your loved one. These moments can be disorienting at times because our brains are not yet used to the change and there's a struggle to process what these new circumstances mean for us. However, this momentary struggle gives way to clarity and newness as these experiences become integrated into our lives.
Life has become more complicated in the past years. However, it is not because life constantly gets harder; the society becomes more hectic. People are constantly connected via mobile phones, they are always distract with something new and needs to update themselves on social media. Even though people switch between multiple conversations that seem to quickly fade away and make them feel lack of emotions and a sense of worth for their life.
When we reflect on about happy memories from our childhood, we don't forget what was going on then but just can't help but reminisce about all those happy moments from our past lives. So instead of changing the time back to what it once was, we need to realize that a simple happiness is important in expanding its importance now in our everyday lives like a reminder when the future creeps up around us with so much fear, doubt and confusion that sometimes leaves us feeling like losing hope for something entirely different including happiness or any other important emotion.
