Simplicity and Complexity Part 1

Man is born with a natural belief in the Creator of the world. To a child, G-d's existence is pashut and he must be taught to deny that belief (עיין אבן שלמה קכא). I was once sitting at a shabbos table next to a little girl drinking a cup of soda, "Where did those bubbles come from?" I asked. "Who put them there?" "Hashem did" she responded. However, as the journey of life continues, experience becomes increasingly more complicated, leaving less room for simplicity. A child's innocence weans as he enters adulthood, and very often his perspectives on life do not remain in their original state of purity. My goal is not to delve into the influence that experience and psychology have on the belief system of man, but rather to discuss an approach to our עבודה given the reality of our experiential life cycle.
