An Uncomplicated World

A CATCHY FEW LINES CAME TO ME in a Grisham book I was reading this past winter that cracked me up. The paragraph described the protagonist’s reflection on his country relatives, which ended with these words: “They’re either ignorant and simple-minded or refreshingly uncomplicated. Take your pick.” This manifests itself in my life today through my own goal of trying to be more simple-minded and uncomplicated.

My education and training in business led me to analyze all options to the point of ad nauseam. (Yes, I also took Latin.) Today, I choose to be uncomplicated rather than analyzing everything, and now I will live by wise and uncomplicated proverbs.

"Give a boy a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a boy to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime". 

And that’s the way it is, thank goodness.
