You can sum it up by adding the individual pieces, but it will never come out in total to be anything like what you perceive it to be.
Where did all this complexity come from?
When you stop to think about it, all that you take seriously as a matter of course,... it really is trivial, isn't it? Why the need to entertain ourselves by artificially constructing elaborate dramas? Some amount of it is necessary, it would seem. But, do we need to take it to the levels we do?
Everything in here came from out there, 'here' being the realm of the mind. In here, it gets bent, pulled, compressed, and twisted, and the result goes back out there. Imperceptible at first, the lay of the land gradually changes. And the feedback, over time, fills us in on the details. The conscious mind, though, isn't immediately aware of the subtle differences.
And then one day it hits you; the times, they are a-changin'.
