Simple Complexity

Simple insights into complex issues. Not simplifying what is complex, which is a form of denial and avoidance. But approaching what is multi-faceted slowly, thoughtfully, methodically. Layer by layer. Perspective by perspective. Acting while gaining understanding, and not postponing action until achieving understanding. Not needing to master before engaging. May feel slower, but actually one is making progress from the get go.
We hesitate and delay, convincing ourselves we need more and better information before we can make a decision. But there is no way to get complete information and there are no such things as perfect decisions.
We need to make as wise a decision as is possible as early as is possible. Not an easily identifiable benchmark, but a surer route to making progress.
