In A Perfect World

Wouldn't life be so much easier if people, in the most general of terms, were more transparent?  If pride didn't bring speaking from the heart into question? If arrogance and denial didn't trump fear of vulnerability or pain?

People are always telling me that I "complicate" and "analyze" things too often. Perhaps I do and perhaps the eyes of many view this as a flaw. At the end of the day all I'm trying to do is simplify things.

Why can't everyone just be forthright with their expectations or desires?  

It'd save us a lot of time (or wasted time)
