What I've found as I get older is that when someone says "It’s really simple," that's a good sign it isn't.
- busymom0 3mo agoSomething can be really simple, yet very hard. Like saving money or losing fat and building muscles.
- breezybottom 3mo agoI don't know what that means. Building muscle involves incredibly complicated biological processes, there's nothing "simple" about it. In the parent comment the "simple" advice is also fallacious.
- busymom0 3mo agoWe don't need to know all the intricacies of how something happens behind the scenes. The actual task of how to do to it is very simple.
- breezybottom 3mo agoYou keep redefining "simple" to make it work.
