Life only feels complicated because you keep trying to explain it — and the only tool the mind has is a knife. On why the flower isn't complicated (the botany is), why every solved problem just relocates our worry, and why the night sky is less a question to answer than a firework display to enjoy.
Suppose a dial were wired in beside your eyes, and turning it changed what a person actually is — body, then personality, then soul, then a single shared awareness, then nothing at all.
