By design

Anyone who tells you that life is easy hasn't been paying attention. Even when things are going relatively well, something will sprout up out of the blue which will test our ability to cope and adjust. 

Most of the time we exist within a bandwidth of acceptable satisfaction while periodically peppered by anxiety, fear and even infectious joy. 

We are enigmas who only appreciate how good we have it after we are tested by calamity and ultimately survive it. 

When we no longer have mandatory tasks constantly filling our day we have more time for reflection. We can ponder how meandering, random and meaningless it all feels at times only to then change gears when a ray of insight pierces our negativity. We realize there is indeed a purpose and harmony to everything as the sun touches our face. 

Many people live at a surface level where they don't question too deeply which perhaps spares them pain although I am not sure. After all, digging too much for answers might not yield fruitful results for them. 

What I know is that we are at once simple and deeply complex creatures which was probably intended by design.
