Complexity Vs ComplicationIn complexity, there's probably a

lot going on, like cause and effect stuff, and lots of relevant details

In complication, there's always a lot going on, and lots of bits that might or might not connect to other bits, be connected at sometimes

There may be cause and effect, but not sure which is which; lots of details, but they're hard to pin down

bank. Its name is TIMEEvery morning, it credits

us with 86,400 secondsEvery night it writes off,

Each day it opens a new account for us

If we fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is ours.
