Simplicity

"Simplicity" by definition means one thing "the quality or condition of being easy to understand."  Raymond Matthew Hobbs does not fall under any footnote of that term.  I am not simple.  I am far from it.  Many people claim to know me, but they really don't.  This blog is not about me though, it's about you.

Remember the time I was twisted up in a blanket, and shoved into a closet?  Of course you don't.  Hey, HEY, nobody remembers that.  Remember the time I lit the woods on fire?!  Of course you don't.  I never told you.  Remember the time I watched my father get his head slammed onto the steps?  NOPE!  You don't remember that, because you never knew it was there.

Even though "simplicity" is an easy term to understand, it's really not so simple.  For instance, life is not simple..... Yet a dandelion has life.  We all walk through a field of dandelions, kicking them, picking them, and flicking them.  I guess life is really simple!  Why does a dandelions life hold less value than our own?

It doesn't!  But human beings think they're at the top of the food chain.  Yet we all forget the simple things in life.  Does anyone remember what it feels like to hug a homeless man?.....Hungry...ALONE!  Of course you don't, because most of you have never done it!  Simplicity (to me) does not mean "the quality or condition of being easy to understand!"

If "simplicity" meant what we're told it does, then we would never kick that dandelion.  We would never smack our spouse.  We would never pin our father down on the steps, and wait for the cops to arrive.  It's pretty easy to sum up.......Simplicity is not so simple.

Every one thinks that love is tough.  It's not so tough.  Everyone thinks that life is tough.  It's not so tough.  Love makes life simple!  Life, if you live it, makes love simple.  They go together.  You will never really live unless you really love.  As complex as I am, I can honestly say, that I live.........and I love!  It's that simple.  Maybe now I'm not so hard to understand. -blink
