Simplified Meaning:

When we try to understand why something happened, the easiest answer is usually the right one. Imagine you come home and find your window broken. You might think a bird flew into it or someone threw a ball by accident. These explanations are simple and make sense. It’s less likely that something complicated, like an elaborate prank involving ropes and pulleys, caused the damage. People often try to come up with complex reasons for things, but simple answers are often closer to the truth. This idea can help you in daily life. For example, if you're missing your keys, consider straightforward possibilities first, like you left them in your coat pocket or on the kitchen table, before thinking someone stole them. Focusing on simple explanations can save time and reduce stress.
