Oversimplification is an effective tool for understanding the “jist” of something - allows you can quickly orientate yourself to the world around you. But there’s a drawback.
Humans are notorious oversimplifiers - emotions, events, history, our perceptions towards others - everything. In the last week, how many times have you overreacted to the wrong things? Likely, that overreaction was a result of oversimplification.
Remember - too much of a good thing isn’t a good thing.
