Are we all just stupid?

You know, there's certain things that when you look at them they look so simple yet, we just don't want to accept the simple things.

For example, when I see someone doing something very basic in a field I've worked on before, in my head, I'm like, omg, that's so cool and I see me in him and it's almost like a very endearing feeling and if they come up to me, it makes me so happy. But at the same time whenever I'm doing something new and I have to start small with something more basic, I feel embarrassed to tell anyone cause, in my mind, I'm like oh, but no one's going to think it's cool, this is not good at all. But I know that's not true, they probably feel the same thing as I do whenever I meet someone like that.

Another example is doing things, right. A few months ago, I saw like these people like

@Chinnu B

@Crown Mare

, they were posting like book reviews and I was like, hey, they're so cool, they're so great, I don't even read books, they're totally on a different level. But that's just simply not true, at some point in the past, they were probably the same as me, they also had a day where they picked up their first book, maybe it was before me, maybe they read fast but at some point, they were in the same stage as me and you, and infact I still don't read 1 book a week, I take 1 book, I don't even try to read like 1 chapter a day, if I'm feeling good, I real multiple chapters if I'm not feeling good, I just read 1 paragraph and that's it, some days, when I'm busier, I don't even read. So, does that make me a really good reader like them? Probably not, so what, if I read even 1 book in like say not even a month, like 3 months, that's 4 books an year, in 3 years, I'll know about a whole dozen of books and then I can call myself a reader and like the first example, if I were to tell a good reader that, oh, I read like half book, they probably couldn't care less about comparing my not even 1 book level to them, they'll be like, oh, yeah, that's great and again, we know these stuff yet we just don't accept them.

Infact, even I as the one who literally wrote this post, I can guarantee that I will fall into this trap of overcomplicating things again it's inevitable but you know it's interesting to wonder why, even though our brain loves simple things, why are we intentionally perceiving things in a more complicated manner? Like it has to be something big and grandiose for it to be a good thing, like, why? Let me know what you guys think.

Also, if you're still stuck in the Mozart or Beethoven battle, I solved it, it's Chopin. Why? Cause, come on, dude's a genius, he makes you feel his hallucinations. I love that guy so much, I can listen to his music on repeat for years and still not get bored, he's just amazing.
