About This Quote
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. In this quote, the author is describing the way that people create problems out of simple issues. For example, just because a man has a facial feature that resembles a monkey does not mean that his life will be ruined from that. This simple similarity does not define or define him as a person.
Similarly, just because a man has a face that resembles a monkey does not mean that his life will be ruined from that. Simple similarities do not define or define us. When you think about it, all of the people in the world have “monkey faces” and none of them have been ruined from it.
The same goes for all of the other facial features in our world: blond hair, brown hair, etc. None of these features ruin our lives when they come in contact with each other.
