The Complexities of Life

Life, people, relationships are so very complex. Individuals who feels that you can "just stop" or that you can just handle it, I believe, are very naive and small worlded (not a word I KNOW, please forgive me). If the world that you live has no complicated people, then tell me this. According to Wikipedia, "Brains can be extremely complex. For example, the human brain contains more than 100 billion neurons, each linked to as many as 10,000 other neurons." With each of those processing, the thoughts that cycle and are never claimed into your memory or current thoughts but are still processed and moved along. One way that I heard it described was that the mind has a three chamber levels of filtering. As thoughts pass the mind kinda like visitors, there are filtered unconsciously and an immediate decision is made whether to allow them into the foyer. This approved thought or memory is then passed to the sitting room until announced and acknowledged, and then to the library to entertain. All this happens in nanoseconds without you even being aware it has taken place. This is a complex mind at work in it's lowest abilities.
