Complicated Simplicity

I have a tendency to want things to be very black and white. It's either on or off, hot or cold, yes or no. Could this be from my upbringing? Living with a father who brought his military life home? Things with him are simple. They either are or they're not. There is no gray with him. If you say you're going to do something, do it; there's not a lot of discussion on why.

I see myself now doing the same thing that he does. There are times when this is a good thing, however there are times when your life needs to have a certain level of complicity. There are times when being simple can cause more problems for a person.

I am learning to be a little more complicated, but be patient; it's not that simple for me.
