saw this movie yday....actually tode morning.called 'its complicated'.... Meryl streep, alec baldwin...its abt a divorced couple which after 10 yrs of d divorce suddenly meet one day n think that they still love each other...and wonder if theres still a future together....sweet n hilarious at times, the ending is well-thought of and contrarian to general perception that this tym around they shd give it another shot.....i simply loved it for meryl's awesome histrionics, some wonderful dialogues, the thought that went into the run-up to d ending...n the final decision that meryl takes, took the cake!
Which brings me to this thought...
y do we make a simple life complicated....
y wen we hv somethin dont realise its value, and take it fr granted...and then have an aha realisation d moment its gone....
y do v build mental barriers arnd us ... regarding our most valuable relationships...wen in fact it shd be simple heart-to-heart communication...
..... Y do some ppl go awry in their values/ morals wen all they hv to do is to simply listen to n abide by their conscience....
...y have simple old-fashioned values like honesty, trust, faith, love been trampled under the onslought of a complicated hotch-potch mix of greed, dishonesty, jealousy, hatred, lust, breach of trust...
..y do we burden our close ones under huge weights of expectations...wen in essence we shd enabe them to fly...and soar...
Y do we hv to enter a rat race, spoil our health n work-life balance, only to retire wen we can no longer be able to enjoy wat we've earned...
Y is someone who takes up their hobby, their passion, as a full-time activity kept out of the so-called mainstream?
Y are ppl vid enterepreneurship n creativity sparks denied adequate n timely funding support....while the enslaved salaried professionals put on a pedestal?
Y do we punish non-conformism (except illegal stuff of course) ...y the premium on herd mentality...
...y do we allow so called religious beliefs n ideologies to cloud out our simple understanding of the sole religion i.e. Humanity...
Each of us today n every single day ahead needs to get back to basics, question all current 'accepted' practices / norms, use our hearts more often and take out the knots from our lives - one at a time...and step closer to simplicity...:)

"sometimes you cannot believe what you see,you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too- even when you're in the dark. Even when your are falling"- frm 'Tuesdays with Morrie.
The problem is not many people are able to do it leading to complications you have mentioned.
Have your ever given a thought but most problems occur when you feel the other person is not thinking/ acting as you want him/ her to be...lack of confidence or misunderstanding...which ever way you want to take it but that starts everything
