Context: Recently, I entertained the idea that I am the universe & everything is just a reflection of me. It only took me about an hour to realize that everything about existence is unfathomably complicated all at once on different levels. The big second paragraph is mostly just explaining what I mean by everything being impossibly complicated.
On a physical level alone, I'm pretty sure everyone who's taken a difficult science class can agree that literally everything gets infinitely more complicated the more you zoom in. From organ systems, to organelles, to atoms, to gravitational forces, & space dust & far out planets. All the complexities that we learn in school or from life that we learn & forget maybe a year later. Ignoring the physical level for a minute; think of any relationships you have, passions, deep life lessons, other people's points of views, even your own awakenings. We as human beings are SO complex. Most find interest in personality related assessments, not for the accuracy, but for a FRACTION of better understanding. Nothing comes close. I doubt anything ever will. Our brains unconsciously summarize, cheat, make symbolism, & get fooled by crafty illusions because that's the best it can POSSIBLY do. No amount of processing power & years of experimentation can help us understand the inner workings of your existence, much less the true nature of reality without the use of rounding & over simplification.
I say this not out of defeatism, but as a simple vent & a new pov I haven't seen from anyone else yet. For all of my adolescent life, I learn & retain information from school, religion, family, & the internet. Everybody is just as inwardly complex & outwardly simplified as our brains are. Every idea I received seems to be just as supportable as any other. I've been stressed to discover my purpose, get a well paying job, & preserve my relationships while juggling the ideas that life either doesn't care about me or is entirely dependent on whether I grab it by the reigns. Do I control, do I chill, do I work, relax, or try both only to reap of fourth of the benefits of both? I really believe this applies to all beliefs of reality. Open-mindedness is a blessing & torture depending on whether I decide to use ignorance as a cool pair of sunglasses. While this isn't part of the point, I have tried grounding before. I don't know how well it works but I struggle with choosing something to mentally & morally ground myself in. Thinking that everything is technically possible isn't working for me at all.
