Simply complex

Two households, both alike in dignity

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;

Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows

Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.

Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Don't you wish that life was as simple as boy meets girl, girl meets boy, they fall in love, get married and live happily ever after? And yet, if we were to remove all the 'complications' of life, it, arguably, would not be as interesting or meaningful anymore.

These complications can come like a tornado, destroying everything in its path, leaving individuals with messes and a task to pick up the broken pieces. You see tears shed, you hear hearts shattering. You see hope being lost.

Yet, it's somewhat comforting that during times of adversity, you see loved ones and people who care coming together just to uplift the broken hearted and you see them becoming "cheerleaders" as they encourage the depressed to move on. For those individuals, it's like going through refining fire, where hopefully impurities are being removed and they come out stronger and more beautiful - like a diamond. So in that sense, there's beauty in the complexity.

After being intrigued by the simplicity/complexity of life, I guess the point of all this is: dear you, hang in there because things will get better.
