I used to want a simple life. A quiet and simple life; one
that is not riddled with all the incontinence of life. I just wanted to be
simple and understood.
The more I walked in those cloak of simplicity, the more I
was misunderstood. It was weird and not a so interesting experience. I
sojourned in believing something was wrong with me for a long time only to hit
the truth. The problem was not even me; it was what I sought to be that was the
genesis of all my travails.
Well, I realized that simple was not simple, it was complex,
because the simple was either too ephemeral in his approached or simply felt everyone
and everything was as simple and good intention-ed as they. Yes simple was
complex because the whole idea behind simplicity is in the first place geared
towards making an impression. It was built on a portrait we wanted others to
see or us. So it was flawed as my lawyer friends would say ab initio.
Okay, why am I into all of this? - I just checked out of the school of the
simple. I have now joined the college of prudence. In this place, all that I do
and am doing is with an eye on purpose. I now do all with the mind of seeing
ahead. I am no longer the gullible me, yet I take steps not to be paranoid.
From the simple that does things simply to be understood, I now govern and
discipline myself by the use of reason especially as it pertains to the purpose
for which God has called me to life.
Yet, do not lose the plot here, in prudence, we find true
simplicity for there we realize that understanding being the knowledge of the
Holy is only available to us when we work within the purpose of our calling.
Nugget: The simple
believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps - Prov. 14. 15
