Making things hard is easy.

Lets face it. Everything has to be done in a tedious, complicated, annoying, and just plain out hair pulling way. Why? Because that's just the way it has to be. Or at lest that how we feel. When you look at it things are often just hard because in my opinion we always try to make it that way. Why. Because we make ourselves think it will be effective. Let face it if the bureaucrats made government forms easy then it wouldn't look like they weren't doing their job. Its this if its smart it has to be complicated mentality. Or at least that's how I look at it.

Then again is making things more complicated easier for the people who make, oh lets just say the requirements for your scholarship weren't in detail as to how many credits you need right then so when its to late you don't get that money you need. If you can't already tell I'm a bit annoyed right now and that last passage probably explains why.

If they would have sent me an e-mail sooner before the day I left for school, and told me exactly what I need when I needed it I would be in this jam. If they said things in detail that would have made it easy to understand then I would be fine. It said I needed 14 credits for a scholarship for winter semester so I thought I needed 14 credits during that semester when in reality I needed them now. "Well thanks for telling me oh... NEVER!"

Why is it complicated? Because its easier not to make it. It seems things have to be hard simply because they're expected too, and it is sometimes easier too. Not to mention how some people do it because they think if its not complicated it's apparently not good enough. We need to shake this mentality from our minds and focus on making things simple, and effective.

How awesome would it be if anyone could learn how to use a new operating system off the back? How great it would be to send in your taxes without a head ache? Hell how many headaches would you get if things were simple yet still effective as ever? To me that sounds more like a fairy tale then something that could actually exists.
