		<description>This is my first comment here, I am enjoying your posts on Simplicity. Keep &#039;em coming.


My 2 cents on this post,

this reinforces the tagline of my blog,

&quot;It just is. The rest is your story&quot;.

The labels &quot;Simple&quot; and &quot;Complex&quot; , &quot;Positive&quot; and &quot;Negative&quot; are just what they are, labels.

They can easily be swapped for a person with a different story, let us say, for an autistic person in the case of the picture above.

What are considered &quot;Positives&quot; can very well be &quot;Negatives&quot; and vice versa.

I have found that rationalization of an experience and labeling it is futile and not necessary.

Another way to look at Simplicity/Complexity is through the concept of &quot;Flow&quot;, If something aids the Flow, it is simple, otherwise it is complex.
If somethings turns your mind off, it causes &quot;Flow&quot; to happen and hence you feel it is simple.</description>
