praise of simplicity
Simple does not mean trivial. This is probably the first point to clarify. Indeed, if anything, is often the opposite is true, that many attitudes are commonplace unnecessarily complicated. Simplicity is sometimes a natural gift but more often a condition to win.
not pretend to possess it as this would be very complicated, because this is not fake , popular, is very trivial. win.
William of Ockham, the concept expressed epistemologically in the process known as "Occam's Razor ", "factors being equal the simplest explanation is preferred". Is preferred because it is more practical, more functional, more "clean". This image gives an idea, since the cleaning is not a state of departure, but the result of a regular discipline, just distracted for a few days to find him, somehow, from a house shining a sty ...
Pace Rousseau then the "cleansing" is not the prerogative of the bon sauvage but the result of a job. The usual initial condition, except perhaps shoot exception is the trivial complexity. It starts from being subject to a multitude of conventions, dogmas, worries, prejudices "common" are naively accepted, protected and disseminated. Sometimes then you react to this complex structure, replacing it with a conventional spiritual, philosophical or "tailor-made", but basically different, in hindsight, equal to itself. Or are rants against the alternatives, judging them, and they alone, complicated ... In our room
inner accumulate so paperwork on paperwork, some useful, some just bulky. This is because the complexity is in us, starting the company or its pseudo alternatives we offer only the mirror, more or less deformed.
Cleaning is therefore that of our room. There, it is necessary to order, discard as useless, dusting and sweeping. But, as ordered, throw something?
guess a box of wool and threads of different colors and lengths. Left to itself, poking at random, will soon be a complicated tangle woven. Faced with this tangle we see the connections, sorting out the various threads, loosen the knots, relax. Throw those useless because they are damaged or too short. Creating, by each of the remaining, the balls. The ball is the easiest way to organize a wool thread.
