Huff and puff

Alas! Life should be simple but is it? How many quotes, paradoxes, stories and illustrations there are that all tell one simple thing - life is hard and complex. Like the big bad wolf that huffs and puffs to blow away whatever structure you have around you so it could get to gobble you down, …
