Succinctly simple

As a rebuttal to what I said earlier. What of the simple sayings that are so vague and ambiguous they can be applied to everything? Like the two commandments Christ gave when asked what the greatest commandment was. Love the Lord your God with everything (shorthand for the actual line), and love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on those two commandments. It took numerous scrolls, men and women, tears and triumphs to deliver such a simple duo by God in the flesh. All of the debating and bickering over what to do, and Jesus distilled it to 2 things. That’s pretty simple as far organization goes. The Ten Commandments, asymmetrically divided into 4 and 6 for the 2 essential commandments.

Is this a rejection of the need to organize every larger space we enter? Like, “Don’t try to organize. Travel courageously with this in mind.”? Or is it automatically a non-simple understanding of existence because it involves God, which is the most complex being/thing ever?

I’m incredibly groggy right now, so this is even more sub-par than usual. Oy vey. Brought to you by the scent of a too-hot thermos of Pike’s Place Roast and “Found in Far Away Places” by August Burns Red.
