Life is Simple - Conversation between a Guy and Lady

Well guys. Its been a long time since I wrote. Here I am with this piece of convsersation that I had with a friend of mine. She said that "Life is Simple" and I said that it is not simple. We had this on line chat and I am placing the chat excerpt here.

Lady : don't think of the place where u don't have to go
Lady : leave iit on life to take u where it wants to
Guy : u say very simpel
Guy : and witten also that life is simple.
Guy : Do u really think that life is simple?
Lady : Yes.
Lady : as a matter of fact, our imagination makes things big and complicated
Lady : They are simple and we release that only after all is done
Lady : oops...
Guy : but we live in asociety
Lady : a society that we make
Guy : but then we turn into savages.
Guy : if we dont.
Lady : yes. none of us are cave mans any more
Lady : what i mean is that we grew up with the values that society gave us and we grow up to realize that some of them are good and some can be changed not cozing harm to anyone
Lady : society is a folk of mankind to stay together so they are never tamed by someone mighter.
Lady : There are no rules to make a society
Guy : so where doe the values come in - man made again ? And ur own kith an kin?>
Guy : What do u say about the joy an sorrows that are caused when man breaks the rules?
Guy : and do u think u can change the way - or would like to change the society if it harms u?
Lady : All that still happens
Lady : and values are man made
Lady : Society does harm ppl
Lady : else all would be good
Lady : and there be just peace
Guy : how can u say that life is simple and thoughts are the only problems?
Guy : When u are alive, u carry ur thoughts. And that i spart of ur life.
Guy : Answer this
Guy : how can u say that life is simple and thoughts are the only problems?
Lady : Yes. Thoughts is one key that we have make decisions and desires. That definitely makes life. But life without those desirable thoughts is simple. Life's principle is balance and not extend to obsessions. Life has its own course and thoghts have its own but we as human have so many traits that makes us feel life is complicated feelings like ego, more wealth, desire for things we don't have
Lady : Life gives us all a chance when we ask her but then its our thoughts that make us accept it or not
Guy : Whatever u wrote came from your thoughts. But u cannot separate life from thoughts.
Lady : I never said that
Lady : All I said was that life is simple
Guy : then u have to say that "life without unnecessary thoughts is simple"
Lady : No.. Life is not just made of thoughts
Lady : Look at a child somewhere as young as 3 or younger
Lady : you think they know what thoughts or desires are
Lady : they live and have life
Lady : thoughts develope and so does their life changes
Guy : a life means in the entirity
Guy : from birth, young age, adoloscnce, youth, maturity, marriage, parenting, middle age, old age.
Guy : thought play around in diff roles throughhout all these stages.
Guy : and with stage u come accross people, learn values, impose on others, and finally regret them. Guy : Peple say u can never run from ur thoughts
Lady : What u say is true but again as you say life is made of thoughts but life is not eactly thoughts Lady : We become mature and with time our thoughts as well. That can make a path for us to attain what we think would be good for us. But that is not life. Life Is in completion with faith and destiny
Lady : Thoughts is for our desires. To make us what we think we are
Lady : Life is a complete jounry
Lady : It is a period.
Guy : So how can be life simple?
Lady : Life is simple as life never has rules
Lady : It is just innocent
Lady : Life even knows where it is going
