Children are bastards to teach

Your mind may learn to run by first learning to walk
But your psyche learns to run by trying to run without knowing
how to walk,
falling down,
scrapping knees and thinking “Shit! I didn’t die! Gravity hey!?”
Children aren’t much different.

The key to simplicity is not to dumb things down
but to smarten them up.
It takes more effort to make something hard simple,
than it takes to make something simple hard.

Simple understandings are quick, light and short.
Like children they run at great speed with little feet,
laughing at those who’ve forgotten how to play,
laughing with those who learn.
