What's wrong with simplicity? You have to go a long way to hear an argument against it. Even the folk who seem to take great delight in complicating issues, will happily deliver enthusiastic (if convoluted) lectures on the benefits of getting back to basics. Yet though a key issue in your life ought to be clear-cut and beyond confusion, you find yourself somewhat bewildered.
 An idea that should be straightforward, keeps sending you round in circles. But that may just be because you need to give it less thought, not more. Because there is no use in storing more and more knowledge, what we know is enough to digest.  Don't we all need a little help and understanding? If any of us really want to make the world a better place, we can only begin by addressing our own shortcomings.
There was once a frog who had lived his whole life in a well. One day, another frog hopped over from a nearby lake. The visitor invited the well-dweller to come out and join him. 'How big is your lake?' asked the first frog. No matter how hard the second frog tried, he couldn't make the well frog imagine a world bigger than the one he knew. You are now being offered a window on a realm far wider and more potentially rewarding than the one you currently know. And you don't have to go far to get there. At least be willing to investigate.
