"الحق دائمًا ما يُوجد في البساطة وليس في تعدد الأشياء وتشوشها."

Finding the truth often means cutting through the noise and focusing on the basics. When we get caught up in too many details, we can lose sight of what’s real and essential.

Imagine you’re at a bustling market. There are vendors shouting, people haggling, and the smells of a thousand different foods wafting through the air. It’s chaos. But then, you spot a small, quiet corner where a woman is selling just one kind of fruit. Her stand is neat and simple. You realize that in all the market’s confusion, her straightforward approach stands out. The truth of what she’s selling is clear and easily understood.

This idea isn’t new. Sir Isaac Newton, the guy who discovered gravity, believed in it. He saw that the universe, despite its vast complexity, operates on simple principles. Newton’s laws of motion, for example, are basic yet explain a ton of what we see around us. He lived in the 1600s, a time when science was blossoming, and his belief in simplicity helped him make sense of the natural world.

Let’s talk about a practical example to drive this home. Picture a software company facing a bug in their app. The team’s first instinct might be to dive into complex debugging processes—hours and hours of line-by-line code checks, endless meetings discussing potential problems. But then, a junior developer suggests starting with the basics: checking if the servers are running correctly. It turns out, one server is down. Problem solved. This simple step saved them from a maze of unnecessary troubleshooting.

Applying this wisdom in your life can be straightforward. Next time you face a problem, resist the urge to dive straight into the deep end. Start with the simple questions: What’s the core issue here? Have I checked the basics? You might find that the solution is simpler than you thought. This approach doesn’t just save time—it also preserves your sanity.

Let’s bring it closer to home. Imagine you’re planning a big family dinner. You could go all out, trying new recipes, decorating elaborately, and coordinating a complex schedule. Or, you could keep it simple: your family’s favorite dishes, a clean and cozy table, and a general time frame. In sticking to what’s essential—good food and good company—you ensure the dinner’s a success without unnecessary stress.

So, next time you’re overwhelmed, think about that market vendor. Think about Newton’s apples (or was it that famous apple?). Remember that junior developer. Simplicity often reveals the truth that complexity hides. Trust in the basics, and you’ll navigate life’s chaos a little more smoothly.
