A rule that says you shouldn't overcomplicate things. If it works, leave it be. Don't add extra nonsense just because you can.
Why is there a god? Because there's a god. No need to add 10 other gods just because you're high.
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Not to start a war with the road.
Why is my ex still talking to me? Because they're still stupid.

The easiest answer is usually the right one. Don't make it harder than it needs to be. You're not Einstein, and you probably don't need to be.
My phone died. I didn't need to assume it was haunted. It just ran out of battery.
He's late. He didn't get kidnapped. He just got stuck in traffic.
Why is the sky blue? Because it’s blue. Not because of a cosmic conspiracy.

A medieval guy said you shouldn't make more guesses than you have to. It's like when you're trying to fix your bike and you don’t need to believe the ghost of your childhood pet is haunting you.
Your dog ran away. It didn’t get taken by aliens. It just got distracted by a squirrel.
Your car won't start. It’s not because of a curse. It's just out of gas.
You failed your test. Not because the teacher hates you. Just because you didn't study.

A rule that tells you to pick the simple answer, not the messy one. Don’t add extra nonsense unless it’s actually needed.
Your ex sent you a message. It didn’t mean they love you back. They just felt bad.
Your neighbor’s cat is on your roof. It didn’t mean the cat is plotting against you. It just wanted to nap.
Your mom called you. It didn’t mean the end of the world. It just meant she wanted to chat.

A super simple way to figure things out. If it works, it's good. Don’t overthink it or you’ll go crazy.
Your phone broke. It didn’t need a whole religion to explain it. Just a broken screen.
You're tired. It didn’t mean the universe was ending. It just meant you stayed up too late.
Your dog is crying. It didn’t mean the world was ending. It just wanted a treat.

A rule that says you shouldn’t make up extra stuff just because you can. Keep it simple or you’ll regret it later.
Your coffee is cold. It didn’t mean the universe hates you. It just needs to be heated.
Your friend’s dog bit you. It didn’t mean it was a monster. It just wanted to play.
Your job is hard. It didn’t mean you were cursed. It just means you're not getting paid enough.

When you think the most complicated answer is the real one. Like when someone says ‘a’ and you assume it’s the letter ‘A’ from a secret alien language.
He said ‘a’. You think it’s the letter ‘A’ from an alien civilization. It’s just a letter.
She said ‘I’m fine’. You think she’s been kidnapped. She’s just tired.
He missed the bus. You think it was a magical curse. It was just traffic.
