In a world that often pushes us toward simple and immediate solutions, it’s easy to forget how inherently complex we are. Some philosophies suggest simplifying, gradually eliminating what makes us unique to find a sort of pure essence. Others, however, see humans as continually evolving beings, constantly tested by a rapidly changing world.
For me, the true key is neither annulment nor forced simplification. It is embracing complexity, accepting that there are no easy answers to difficult questions.
The Brain and the Psyche: A Universe in Exploration
We are wonderful machines, equipped with a brain capable of processing information at an incredible speed. But often we do not fully understand our choices, guided by instincts and emotions that elude us. Our psyche is vital, curious, always seeking new experiences and sensations. The mind, instead, is what allows us to control this flow, trapping us in fears, obsessions, and insecurities.
This struggle between a free mind and will creates the complexity that can sometimes lead to a sort of "dissociation," as described by psychoanalytic theory.
Relationships: A Meeting of Complex Worlds
In everyday life, we constantly face choices, dilemmas, and misunderstandings. Often, we believe our problems are unique, while the reality is that each of us lives our own complex experience.
When we interact with others, we relate two universes of immense complexity. Recognizing this is the first step toward empathy and stronger relationships. We tend to idealize others, imagining them free from the burdens that afflict us. Instead, everyone fights their own inner battles.
Embracing Imperfection and Failure: The Key to Growth
Accepting complexity also means recognizing that we are imperfect and destined to fail. Imperfection is the engine of human evolution. Without the awareness that we cannot be perfect, we would never have achieved the results we have.
Failure is an integral part of the learning and growth process. Every mistake leaves a mark on us, which can become an ally or an enemy. If we choose to learn from our failures, we can turn them into new opportunities and improve ourselves.
Complexity: What Makes Us Unique
Human complexity is what makes us extraordinarily interesting and unique. The more we feel our own complexity, the more we can understand the universe around us.
If we do not acknowledge the complexity of others, we risk making our own existence incomprehensible.
Conclusion:
Embracing complexity is not easy, but it is essential for deep personal growth and more authentic relationships. We learn to navigate uncertainty, accept our failures, and celebrate the richness of our experiences. Only then can we truly understand ourselves and the world around us.
