Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes in life, we face complex problems that don’t have straightforward solutions. These are the "no easy answers" situations. However, even when solutions aren't easy, they can still be clear and simple if we focus on doing what is morally right. Take, for example, telling the truth. If a friend asks for your honest opinion on something important, you might find it difficult to give an answer that won’t hurt their feelings. The easy way out would be to lie or avoid the question. But the simple and right thing to do is to be honest, even if it's hard. In history, many leaders had to make tough decisions that weren’t easy, like standing up for equality when it was dangerous. They knew that treating people fairly was the right thing to do, and they had the courage to pursue it despite the risks. In your own life, you might face situations where you know what the right action is, but it feels difficult or scary to do it. This quote encourages you to be brave and follow your moral compass, even when the path isn’t simple. Choosing what's right might be hard, but it’s usually clear and straightforward if you're honest with yourself.
