It’s
axiomatic that a teacher’s job is to make complicated things easier for people
to understand.
When
someone comes along & does the opposite, it’s right to question them. Maybe
it’s their motives (trying to sound smarter than everyone else); maybe it’s a
lack of understanding (thinking it’s not worth knowing unless it’s difficult to
understand).
Most
things in life are not really that complicated. Sure, we live in a complicated
world in many ways, but that doesn’t change ultimate things. God is God, humans
are humans, & so on.
I’ve
found that people who are motivated to make the simple complicated tend to have
ulterior motives. They want to be seen as an authority who knows more than
everyone else. They want to get people to follow their agenda (which, by the
way, if stated plainly wouldn’t probably be embraced by most people).
Beware
the sophisticate who tries to confuse you about what seems pretty simple to
understand.
