Sim-plea awesome !

There was a time years ago when I would find complicated people interesting. They presented a mystery to be solved, and I derived a Sherlock-Holmes-esque thrill in piecing the jigsaw together, so to speak. Complicated people were also unpredictable which meant the jigsaw didn't quite fit together the way I had originally imagined, and which, I thought, made things even more interesting.

With a few exceptions, I now find complicated people tiresome. Some mysteries, I now believe, are best left unsolved.

I myself am complicated but I remember feeling this way about someone who I felt was complicated! Haha! I understand!

Haha, I couldn't agree more :)

A list of 'mysteries we can live with' as we get older would be fun to compile..

Hehe. Can relate with that feeling. As we grow older do you think we become "simple minded"? :)

anonymous , hmm .. a complicated person who finds other complicated may not be as complicated as they think they are :-)

secondsight, I can now live with any number of mysteries now :)

rafiki, ya, I guess lots of people become simpler as they grow older..
