这个世界其实很简单，只是人心很复杂。
其实人心也很简单，只是利益分配很复杂。
桌上有一堆苹果，人们并不在意这堆苹果有多少，而是在意分到自己手里的有多少；单位里有一摊子事，人们并不在意这摊子事有多少，而是在意自己多干了多少。人类有大智慧，却因为对得失斤斤计较，最后都变成了小聪明。
人与人之间的关系其实很简单，由于利益分配很复杂，才有了尔虞我诈、勾心斗角。
人，一简单就快乐，但快乐的人寥寥无几；一复杂就痛苦，可痛苦的人却熙熙攘攘。这反映出的现实问题是：更多的人，要活出简单来不容易，要活出复杂来却很简单。
人，小时候简单，长大了复杂；穷的时候简单，变阔了复杂；落魄的时候简单，得势了复杂；君子简单，小人复杂；看自己简单，看别人复杂。
一眼能望到底的事物，似乎很简单。一口百年古井，幽深、澄澈，也可以一眼望到底，但这口古井，本身却并不简单。人也一样。有时候，一个人可以一眼望到底，并不是因为他太过简单、不够深刻，而是因为他太过纯净。一个人，有至纯的灵魂，原本就是一种撼人心魄的深刻。这样的简单，让人敬仰。有的人云山雾罩，看起来很复杂，很有深度。其实，这种深度，是城府的深度，而不是灵魂的深度。这种复杂，是险恶人性的交错，而不是曼妙智慧的叠加。

Simplicity VS Complexity
The world is actually very simple,but man's mind is very complex.
Actually man's mind is also very simple, but division of earning is very complex.
There were a pile of apples. People didn't mind how many apples the pile had, but minded how many he could obtain. There were lots of things in the unit. Peole didn't mind how many things the unit had, but minded how much did he work more. Humans have great wisdom. However, they all became petty trick because of haggling over every ounce about personal gain and loss.
Relations between men are actually very simple. Because division of earning is very complex, men decieved and intrigued against each other.
Men are happy when they are simple, but few peole are happy. Men are painful when they are complex, but lots of bustling men are painful.
Men are simple when they are young, complex when they are grown up. Men are simple when they are poor, complex when they are rich. Men are simple when they are abject, complex when they are powerful. Moral men are simple, base men are complex. It's simple when looking themself, complex when looking others.
Things which can be seen through at first glance, seem very simple. An old well which digged one hundred years, is serene deep and transparent clear, and can be seen through to the bottom, But the old well is not simple. So do men. Sometimes, a man can be seen through to the bottom, not because he is too simple and not profound enough, but because he is too pure and honest. A man with extremely pure and honest soul, a kind of stirring profoundity. Such simplicity deserves respect. Someone all in a muddle, looks very complex,very deep. In fact, the depth is skin-deep, rather than inward profoundity. Such compexity is intertwining dangerous humanity, rather than segistration of graceful wisdom.
