After talking to his wife, he felt bit relieved. He said, I have never thought that what could be so close and within reach, could have all of these complications. She replied, that is partially true and at times, it could also be true that simplicity is the new complexity.
An hour ago, in a random discussion with his wife, he was talking to her about his pension funds. He had the amount that he was missing to buy a house. He was speaking in a tone that lacks certainty when he was saying that, he has enough now to buy the house. He has seen many choices now. His clarity quickly turned into confusion. He was in between buying the house that he wanted all along. Or, get a better one. Whether, to save a bit, or spend it all on his dream.
In a moment of silence between the two, he remember the time that he was explaining to his son on what basis he needs to choose a university to join. He realized that jumping few steps ahead and choosing a career path at that moment could be an element of complication. He told his wife, what could be straightforward on a piece of paper does not necessarily mean that it is going to remain that way in practice.

Depois de conversar com a esposa, ele se sentiu um pouco aliviado. Disse: "Nunca imaginei que algo tão próximo e ao meu alcance pudesse ter tantas complicações". Ela respondeu: "Isso é parcialmente verdade e, às vezes, a simplicidade pode ser a nova complexidade".
Uma hora antes, em uma conversa casual com a esposa, ele falava sobre sua aposentadoria. Tinha o valor que faltava para comprar uma casa. Falava num tom incerto ao dizer que agora tinha o suficiente para comprar a casa. Já havia visto muitas opções. Sua clareza rapidamente se transformou em confusão. Estava indeciso entre comprar a casa que sempre quis ou uma melhor. Se deveria economizar um pouco ou gastar tudo em seu sonho.
Em um momento de silêncio entre os dois, lembrou-se de quando explicava ao filho os critérios para escolher a universidade. Percebeu que dar um passo à frente e escolher uma carreira naquele momento poderia complicar as coisas. Ele disse à esposa que o que pode parecer simples no papel não significa necessariamente que continuará sendo assim na prática.
