We don't want others to think that I am a easy thinking man, so I cannot give an easy solution. I agree with Liara, it requires courage and self confidence to give our own ideas and opinions, no matter how simple they are.

So The King payed a fortune to those people, they made a suit for him, dressed him in it and then the King walked in the middle of crowd of people - naked - believing he had dressed beautiful suit. Not the King and nor the people said anything, everyone pretended how beautiful the dress was but a little girl said: why is our King naked? :) There is one more famous story about a King who was offered a cloth made of very precious fabric – only those who were stupid couldn’t see it.

Sometimes the simpler the idea, the difficult to accept. So many of us cannot believe when simple things show up in front of us. Why? Because it is impossible that something may be that easy, we think. Because we cannot imagine it can happen to us. I believe that we think….we don’t deserve it,...we’re not worthy, that something easy, good, may come to us. We’re so used to complicated things, complicated life, that when simple is presented before us, we assume it’s not true, not real, not possible,... a trick..... and we so wrong. I think…..simple….is a beautiful word. Love is simple. It doesn’t need an explanation….simply….is. Do we believe in love? How can we not? love Agnieszka That is so funny, and so true.

They always want to find a deeper meaning in the simplest of things. I guess that's what feeds the ego. We have a ridlle, which is really a joke " What color is George Washington's white horse?" This story reminds me of that. There's a general blindness, and most often pertains to the most "supposely enlightened people" How many scholar dedicate their lives to interpreting the bible and we take their interpretantions, and new religious spring up based on these interpretentions, and we follow blindly, without question, but yet we question the word of god, and the message, at least Jesu's message was plain and simple. He even spoke in parables, gave us simple stories so we could related them to our own simple lives, and we still say, What does it mean? We go to church and listen to lengthy sermons when the message is simple. "Love one another as I have loved you" "I'm the truth and the light" "Iam" It really can't get any simpler than that.
