Everything is life is simple. Anybody who tells you that something is too difficult to comprehend is bullshitting.
It is possible to explain anything - from the most complex research or the most intricate decision making process in simple words, that anyone can intuitively understand. And if it not, then it's only because something is being hidden.

What is the duty of parents?
I got asked this question sometime back and had a long discussion over it.
In my opinion, parents are responsible for providing a holistic atmosphere for the child to grow and develop.
When I say grow, I mean parents should provide the necessities of life - food, clothes, a roof to live under.
When I say develop, I mean things that make the child special - Education, encouragement, awareness of the world outside, wisdom to learn from mistakes - stuff like that.
Often times good parents provide the former, but forget an important part of the latter. And that is to connect with the child, no matter how old he/she is. To empathize with them, teach by example and talk to them to know their mind.
I saw a video of a mother cheetah protecting her cubs, an act of immense bravery that drives the point of how parents should protect their children from harmful influences - both external and internal.
The main duty of parents is to instill in their children all the skills and wisdom needed to survive in an increasingly harsh and competitive world. Of course all of this while giving the child enough freedom to make his own destiny.
That in my opinion, goes a long way.

Complacency is for rookies
Aren't you comfortable?
If you are not I apologize. But if you are then you are partly like me.
It just takes a slight jolt to bring down a pack of cards. Being comfortable and ignorant of the "world outside" is just like that.
Even the friendliest and most inviting waters have sharks swimming in them. It's up to you to predict them and prepare yourself to be ready for them when they strike. The first step is to be aware of them, something most people who get too comfy forget. This is the world, they think. Oh, how quickly things will heat up for them.
Be aware. Be prepared and ready. Survival in the world is all about self-defense before the hot iron makes contact.
