The Fight Against Simplicity

We fight simplicity because:

1. It exposes good and bad
2. It may take work from me
3. It may give work to me
4. It may take power from me
5. It won't make everyone happy at this moment
6. It makes me have to stop and think
7. It scares me

We fear simplicity because in many cases, we think we'll lose something--freedom, power, love, glory, ease, etc. But like a lot of things that you commit to, once you accept it and dedicate yourself to it, after a while it becomes apparent you're not missing anything of value.
