And why does it simultaneously give rays of hope for a better future? In my opinion, it is.....
The Simplicity
To have liberty, people need to do two things.
1. Learn how to obtain liberty.
2. Base their actions on that knowledge.
According to the inherent and immutable Natural Law, the bottom line is:
Don’t Steal.
Don’t steal an individual’s life, rights, or private property. In other words, don’t harm others.
It’s really that simple. If this one simple law is obeyed, then liberty occurs.
And humans not only don’t behave in this way, but most don’t even have the knowledge itself.
And what is the result of so many people being ignorant of this knowledge?
The extreme suffering that has been going on for thousands of years.
That’s the frustration part.
However, not to dwell on the negative, the simplicity also presents great hope.
Why?
Just for that same reason.
It's so remarkably SIMPLE.
It's not difficult to do.
Also, I must say that it seems that more individuals have this knowledge now than, say, ten years ago. Or 100 years ago, for that matter.
I was ignorant of this knowledge no more than 3 years ago.
So slow progress is being made. But I must say, again, due to the sheer simplicity of this knowledge, it remains frustrating that more people are not becoming aware at a more exponential rate.
Thanks for reading my mini “rant”. Felt good.
To learn about Natural Law, I recommend Mark Passio's presentation.

laws of nature, the laws that science aims to describe. According to natural law moral theory!
I agree with you mate, simplicity is what miss to most of people. Simplicity is replaced in our society by the greed and the wish to success whatever it takes. Greed and simplicity are a paradox.
And to base their action on knowledge, and freewill. But they have to be good for that and most human beings in our modern societies are greedy as.
To combine simplicity, knowledge, and a good mindset are things that only a few people manage well... Great post by the way, one more sub.
You have to know what freedom is the first place. (which isn't to do whatever you wish; that would be slavery to caprice)
