Lex Parsimoniae

I have done a post about the theme of "simplicity" before, thanks to the extremely wise Taylor Franklin. Even though still in college, he has been a beacon of knowledge and wisdom for a lot of people, including myself. Anyways, today's post is along the same realm of the aforementioned blog.

The latin phrase Lex Parsimoniae loosely translates to "the simplest answer is always the better than the more complex." This theory is also commonly known as Occam's Razor. As a firm believer of the benefit of the simple things in life I am gathering huge support for falling back onto the simple answers in life.
As my life right is becoming filled with more and more complexities of life, I am trying to coerce myself into choosing the simplest answers to direct myself. Sometimes the simplest decision is never the easiest or the most desirable but I am finding it is usually the best. Right now I fight to keep relationships, work my butt off to pay debts, bills, and loans, struggle with my self-image, and constantly doubt my inner psyche. I am one big pile of self-doubting, always emotional, OCD type of person. It is absolutely nerve racking. 

So as I try to fight for answers and direction, I will be leaning towards those simple answers. I need to stop breaking everything down into the those little details. I need to stop trying to piece back together the complex situation into the most desirable outcome. I need to let life happen, in its own way.

It is time to truly let my mind and body live simply...but with complex tastes of course.


Fight for a better tomorrow
