Truth is Simple

“Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.” – Isaac Newton

See things for what they truly are—beyond the superficial and below the surface. The truth of a man, a matter, or a circumstance can reside deeper than appearances. Every situation may hold a deeper meaning if you’re willing to look, but do not allow yourself to be fooled or led astray.

It can be noble to see potential in what appears bleak but balance your optimism with realism. A lemon can be turned into lemonade, but chicken soup cannot be made from chicken shit. Overly optimistic views can lead to ignorance. Some things in life are simply plain and straightforward—there’s no need to look deeper.

Remind yourself of such simple truths. The finest wine is merely a fermented grape. The most divine steak? A simple corpse of a cow. Don’t be swayed by illusions. Seek truth, grounded in clarity.
