day no. 15,162: simpliciter

"Simplicity promotes speed; complexity slows things down. Simplicity should be central to our plans." -- MCDP 1-3: Tactics

Simplicity is not inherently virtuous or advantageous. To over-simplify a complex situation is to create one kind of problem and to over-complicate a simple situation is another kind.

Overall, simplicity is faster than complexity. Thoroughness tends to take longer than timeliness. However, if you act quickly, but incoherently, your action will be speedy, but inefficient and could end up causig additional actions that take additional time.

To be quick in the wrong direction is only to create different problems. 

Order is quicker than disorder.
Clarity provides simplicity.
Simplicity produces rapidity.

1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.

God is not more complicated than He needs to be. He is complex, but not any more than necessary.

Things should be as complex as they are, but not more so.
