When Simple Things Get You in a Strap

In the ever complicated nature of our lives, we try to minimise the casualty by seeking to keep things simple. In the course of adopting this simple approach, we tend to find that somebody does get hurt. Why is that?

Some few reasons I could think of are as follows: -
1. The simplistic approach misses out on certain minor details which could amount to a significant difference
2. By seeing it only 1 way, you stop listening to others, and hence lose out on the value that those people could bring to your life
3. Nobody is always right or perfect.

In any kind of relationships, let it be business or personal, when you stop listening to others, it could suggest that you are being selfish and undermines the ability or the benefits which another person could offer you. In the end of the day, my rationalisation to this is somewhat simple. You should be allowed to do what your heart says is right and what you feel comfortable doing. But at the same, if you wish to keep the good things in life, you do need to make that extra effort to balance this out. No doubt, those who truly appreciate you would tolerate your whims and fancies.... but in all fairness, every person has their maximum level of tolerance for everything. So long as you are within it, you are ok.
