To know that one does not know is the beginning of wisdom. The simplicity of it is to be open to learning fter that admission.

Childhood education; simplicity offers the possibility for allowing younger people to comprehend the results of complicated thinking process without going through the hardship of necessary error, i.e. learning from self's error should be the exception not the rule; that's why we have philosophy, the study and search for wisdom. Better to wise up now than wait til the end of your life, to know if your life is acceptable to you or not. Of course you know the connection between hardship and crying.
The Erikson life-stage virtues, in the order of the stages in which they may be acquired, are:
hope
will
purpose
competence
fidelity
love (in intimate relationships, work and family)
caring
wisdom

I have more for you:-
"...less is more" - Robert Browning, poet, and whose philosophy was adapted into the works of architects Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Buckminster Fuller
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" - Leornado da Vinci
"Our life is frittered away by detail.... Simplify, simplify" - Henry David Thoreau
I've always leaned towards minimalism in architecture, where designs and spaces are reduced to only their necessary elements. Unnecessary details only add to obscure the honesty, soul and true character of a space or objects.
I like knowing things for what they are and not for what they are dressed up to be.
I'm not sure if I answered your question, dear. The only word I saw was "simplicity"....

Simplicity is not for everyone. Whether it is wise or not is a matter of personal opinion. What do you seek? Happiness or the accumulation of things? Unconditional Love or satisfaction? Peace or drama?

Real wisdom knows the difference 'tween simplicity and dumbed-down-boring, as well as the difference between complexity and arbitrary-busyness.

Friend,
everyone has the ability to cry.Even you and are able to cry.But we are not crying for fear of the people around us, for the simple reason that if we cry people think that you are weak minded and sensitive.You want to pretend to be bold, in spite of being not bold.
If the cover of ignorance is broken and the truth is seen the sensitiveness you have towards THAT makes you humble,humane and without your knowing it you cry in Ecstasy.
Swamy Ramakrishna cried like anything.
So when we gradually discard all the unnecessary layers we have been wearing , then we become simple human beings .we become CHILD LIKE persons not CHILDISH persons.
That is simplicity.
Then you involuntarily laugh and cry with out fear of anything.
He hears you and plays with you when you are really simple .
God bless you and may you make progress in your chosen path.
