As simple as this sounds in my ears, I've come to realise that the seemingly complex issues of life are solved by the unbelievable simple things. If something as uncomplicated as grace makes up for our weaknesses and sin, then I shouldn't be rebuked for refusing proposed solutions that appear more complex than the challenge I'm trying to solve. Its in light of this, I smile when ignoramus purchase and bury cows they can't afford, won't eat out of, and still carry calabash of solid pap and palm oil half-naked in the dead of night, to appease one god that can't even recite its own eulogy in exchange for promotion at their workplace.
Our women should stop falling prey to prophets with no conscience who bath and sleep with them after collecting large sum of money in order to help them solve their marital problems (double loss), when something as simple as seeking good character and integrity in men who live under God's covenant solves it.
Marriage have been preached to the point where men have come to visualise it as a battle of its own, where only God has the sole responsibility of picking one's soul mate while our brain go to sleep. I believe He gave men brain to tackle mundane issues so we will give Him rest otherwise He would have match-made us in heaven and not engage us to find that woman with virtues or that wife He considers a good thing.
Students who visit sorcerers to get "magic pen" have most often used those same pen to break their previous records in examination failure while their teachers draw their heads and noses on their scripts signifying the trophies won for their excellent failure, when something as easy as reading, extra study, confidence and discovering your academic strength and weakness does the trick.
The irony of life is that people believe that solution to seemingly complex situation must be complex or big enough to subdue it, while the diligence required in working those simple things out, are easily neglected and left un-attended to. For instance, it is when marital issues have metamorphosed to the point of infidelity that spouses realise that something as incomplex as communication, care, understanding and listening, to mention a few have been ignored. It is these little and straightforward things that require diligence, commitment and effort in order to prevent the hassles of complexity.
As complex as a car is, two or three simple pedals control its acceleration and deceleration. As simple as a remote control device is, it locks and unlocks the doors of that complex machine called car. In my own humble opinion, complexity births complications while simplicity solves them both, the choice is ours.
