Complicated?

Follow us:WhatsappFacebookTwitterTelegram.cls-1{fill:#4d4d4d;}.cls-2{fill:#fff;}Google NewsI swore to myself...I'd never do something adults do. I swore I wouldnt make my life sound like the biggest mystery in the history of makind by saying.."My life is very complicated". I swore I would never use this one word as a sorry excuse for the lack of being able to undo the mess one got into. And most of all...everything seemed to fall in sync with the theory of cause and effect... you did something..there was a repurcussion... then why would adults be so confused. As a kid...it seemed as if..these grown ups couldn't see somthign that was staring in theit face...the whole time!

because ...the way one saw it...you got what you deserved, you paid for what you did..... if you did somethign wrong you were punished,grounded sent to a room....and if you did something commendable..a toy, some candy and a big hug waited for you when you reached home.

But the black and white seem to blur into each other now. Things aren't just good or bad..... the dammed if I do, dammed if I don't syndrome seems to be taking over...and for the first time in my life...I heard my self saying..... "I can't solve this so easily...my life is complicated"

Ironic as it is...an answer seems to be in your face the whole time, not without repurcussions though. People stand to be hurt, emotions are at stake, egos run high....and we have choices to make. .. one realises that as a child......it was easy...If one didn't wanna get punnished one simply studied for the exam, didn't steal..and basically didn'y try and spill the milk in the gutter....as an adult, temptation, guilt, ....so much seems part of the equation. And the worse part....if as a kid one understands... not to get into trouble...then how as an adult does one walk into a mess...knowing fully well...there's only hurt on the otherside....
