Ali Walks Around

We over-engineer our lives.

Our cars have too many buttons.

Our houses have too many gadgets.

We track too many things.

Edit too many photos.

When we over-engineer,

we add more things that could go wrong,

more things to worry about,

more things that we are responsible for.

Heated seats, cruise control, backup cameras

are all added pleasures

and also added stresses.

The car engine

will get us where we need to go

and the radio

will give us joy.

Buy the car

without the gadgets

for the peace

and with a radio

for the joy.
