Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What requires real effort and courage is to move in the opposite direction-in other words, to make things as simple as possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Living in a world that is difficult for humans to describe as complex or simple alone, it is futile to figure out which process, to make things bigger and more complex or to make things as simple as possible, requires more effort and courage and the other is just as easy as blowing off dust. Actually, which is more effort and courage consuming depends on the type of things as well as the state the things being.

Firstly, it is the type of things, which could be generally divided as applicable and exploratory ones according to their function in essence, that determines whether the way to aim, simple-directional or complex-directional, deserves real effort and courage. Taking a typical applicable thing as telephone technology for example, the first generation of telephone was designed with honorable applause but also with inconvenience, because it needed user to dial a single number by rolling the machine a full round, making its use troublesome. Then with the development of telephone machine, the second generation of telephone became easier to use to allow direct pressing the key on machine to dial numbers, saving much time and trouble. Yet , it is also limited in restricted talking location until the emergence of wireless telephone and mobile telephone, which enable users to talk with free moving in house, office and even almost everywhere in the world. The progress of telephone technology is a process from complex to simple. Though it is tough and has quite a long time to arrive, it has merits in that simplexes makes us live easily and nobody would reject it. And, another instance about mathematics, which may be considered as exploratory thing, is to illustrate the rough way to make things from simple to complex. It was the hardworking of countless mathematicians over thousands of year that foster the advancement ranging from elemental arithmetic to calculus and to discrete mathematics, all of which are the bases of many contemporary techniques.  All in all, it is not whether the way is complex-directional or simple-directional that decides the effort and courage needed, but the favorable destination dominates.

In addition, the degree of difficulty is also up to the state of things being, considering various states qualify different types of simplifying and complicating courses. For example, the ancients primary take the phenomena of sun rising up and falling down as simple natural scene without further thought of why, they take the complication as simple for granted, calling complex-to simple course.  Progress has been made by some people starting to dig out the things behind the phenomena, reckoning that the sun is moving around the earth. This course could be defined as the simple –to- complex. Then, the situation became more complex because some discoveries about the orbits of some celestial bodies didn’t conform to the geocentric theory, then people at that time enriched the theory to a bigger one so as to explain the inconsistence. This course could be called as complex-to-more complex, which lasted long but always had an end. The end is the heliocentric held by Copernicus, which explain all observed phenomena well and simply. This course turned out to be complex-to-simple, again, but distinguishing from the former, and with much more efforts and courage as Copernicus has proved. Thus, the stages of things being are holding more importance than the simple-to-complex, or complex-to-simple course itself, for it determines the significance of latter.

In sum, which process requires real effort and courage is not a simple question. However, we can consider it by simple way as it depends.
