To be complex, one must first be simple. Because, unless it’s simple, it’s hard to get complicated. Every complex problem is a combination of simple problems. People tend to think that intelligence is complex. However, in hindsight, memory is just a continuation and connection of simplicity made up of thoughtful ingredients. Still, it is burdensome and complicated to find simplicity in an already complex system. Therefore, the pursuit of simplicity is a burdensome decision, one that requires a willingness to understand this complexity first. Growing up in the mind means taking on this burden and being willing to take on the challenge of finding simplicity in a formally complex system. It’s like a child taking their first steps, trying to get up while risking falling with their whole body. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Greed isn’t about how much you want, but about wanting something without paying for it . Nothing in this world is free ; everything has a cost, whether seen or hidden. Trying to get something for nothing leads to problems and consequences . What am I actually paying now , and for what? It’s useful to think about this from time to time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
