Simple People
„Sometimes a person wishes to be of a simple standing in relation to the service of Heaven, but because he has a talent for understanding at greater depth, they do not let his mind rest at that, so that he will labor and bring forth pearls, in order to bring benefit to the world through this.”From Pinkas Yafo, 48
Today's world sometimes seeks simplicity, as an answer to the great complexity within it. And this aspiration sometimes reaches very complex and deep people as well, and at times creates frustration in them – "it is not simple to be simple." And why does the frustration arise? Because for a deep and complex person, simplicity does not suffice, and there is a need for him to bring his talents, and his uniqueness, to the world.
