The complexities of adult life get in the way of the truth. The great philosophers have always been able to clear away the complexities and see simple distinctions - simple once they are stated, vastly difficult before. If we are to follow them we too must be childishly simple in our questions - and maturely wise in our replies. Mortimer J. Adler
About This Quote

This quote is an insight into one of the biggest reasons why people fail to examine their life. Life demands many different things of us at once and we often don't have the time or ability to focus on them all. We are always fighting the day-to-day onslaught of our home, jobs, children, friends, family, and our own personal demons.
