Do I oversimplify things?

Posted in Philosophy with tags on June 4, 2009 by theerivs

Mike brought up a good point, I have a tendency to simplify thing.  I say yes, because I think that people make things more complicated then they are. People like to put in shades of grey, where I think something is right, or it is wrong.  It is either black, or white. 

I feel we as humans complicate things, make things bigger then they are. We create drama where there is none. Worry about shadows of things that may, or may not pass needlessly. I feel things simply are. I call a spade, a spade. I know the difference between right and wrong (now whether I do right and wrong is a different topic. )  

I think Sigmund Freud put it best, “Sometimes a cigar, is just a cigar.”
