I think overthinking is a big part of the human psyche... that's why I'm a firm adherent of Occam's Razor (or the KISS Principle). There is no problem so small that people can't complicate it! We (as a species) spend a disproportionate amount of time pole-vaulting over mouse turds!
Yes, very nicely put. No more mouse turds for me! ;)
In AA we talk about the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) Alcoholics seem to have an innate ability to over rationalize- so we recommend when reading the Big Book, just to read the black parts and not between the lines.
That is some good advice right there. Thanks for sharing!
