world help: Some people like simple. - Help.com

Some people like simple.

Some people like complicated. Some people like to make complicated matters simple. Others complicate the simple.
What happens when the simple world collides with the complicated world…well, if both parties have a friendly/easygoing temperament at the time, it can be quite fun. If one of the parties is in a foul mood…look out for a mega war.
I admit here and now…I tend to complicate the simple, but so thoroughly enjoy watching the two worlds collide. And yes, I love to mess with my ‘simple friends’. And the response is usually something along the lines of:
JADE…I gave you two choices which one??? YES OR NO, BLACK OR WHITE… I like to start my responses with: well, maybe, or this is this and that is that…frustrates the heck out of them. **grins wickedly**
So let’s have a little fun….
Do you complicate or simplify?
Oh and by the way…before EVERYONE feels the need to define the word simple (there are so many definitions). For the sake of this post SIMPLE = free from elaboration and complicated does not equal brilliance.

Well, let me see, if one takes into account the variety of situations in which one communicates, I would have to say that sometimes I prefer simple, but at times I complicate. However, if you ask my dh, he would say I always complicate. Others might tell you I am quite direct. Of course this reply might indicate that I complicate things…. :-)

10 points deducted for assuming intent of this post needed clarification that complicated does not equal brilliance and simple doesn’t mean stupid.

But 5 point awarded for the illustration of the paper clip - cause well it’ just good…but the explanation could have been simplified. hehe

Brilliant , by no means would I say I am , I am however complicated when it comes to doing the right thing. My children for example , when it comes to any thing pertaing to them I am very complicated , because I want nothing but the best for them which means never settling for less then the best for them , which could be the wrong approach , none the less it’s my approach .I don’t think people in general like a person who complicates things , because most people don’t want to give to much of their own time for someone other then themselves and now that I have COMPLICATED this post with a boring commentary , I think I should shut the hell up.

An Unknown Location | 1 year, 10 months ago (1 day, 11 hours after post)

Jehovah, name of the God of the Hebrew people as erroneously transliterated from the Masoretic Hebrew text. The word consists of the consonants JHVH or JHWH, with the vowels of a separate word, Adonai (Lord). What its original vowels were is a matter of speculation, for because of an interpretation of such texts as Exodus 20:7 and Leviticus 24:11, the name came to be regarded as too sacred for expression; the scribes, in reading aloud, substituted “Lord” and therefore wrote the vowel markings for “Lord” into the consonantal framework JHVH as a reminder to future readers aloud. The translators of the Hebrew, not realizing what the scribes had done, read the word as it was written down, taking the scribal vowel markings as intrinsic to the name of their God rather than as a mere reminder not to speak it. From this came the rendition Jehovah. The evidence of the Greek church fathers shows the forms Jabe and Jâo to be traditional, as well as the shortened Hebrew forms of the words Jah (see Psalms 68:4, for example) and Jahu (in proper names). It indicates that the name was originally spoken Jaweh or Yahwe (often spelled Yahweh in modern usage). Etymologically, it is a third person singular, imperfect, probably of the verb hawah (or hajah), signifying “to be.” The older interpreters explain the verb in a metaphysical and abstract sense; the “I am” of Scripture is “He who is,” the absolutely existent.

Erm, I studied biblical Hebrew. The letters ‘yod’ and ‘vav/waw’ are in their alphabet, thus making the ‘Y’ and ‘V/W’ sounds. I was correcting Encarta, not you.

I just saw this … the J translation, as far as I remember is through yod becoming greek iota which became later roman I and J.

simple enough

Yup. That’s about it. This is also why we call Jesus by his translated Greek name (transliterated, it’s Iesous) instead of his Jewish name Yeshua, or Joshua in English.

To explain further, in the original Greek, the names were translated from their Jewish origins. Thus, two of the authors of the gospels are Matthew and John (from the Greek Matthaios and Ioannes, respectively) instead of Matishyahu/Mattityahu and Yochan/Yochanan.

I usually tend to complicate things for myself but I try to simplify them for others.
