Simple Idea vs. Complex Idea

Alright, so STAC wanted to do something for Thanksgiving. Such a simple idea, was difficult to carry out. Everyone had so many great ideas, it was hard to agree on only one. I thought about why it was taking so long to choose an idea and actually do it while we were deciding what we wanted to do for Thanksgiving. We were making something so basic, so easy, into a something so much more complicated. And honestly, I was not surprised by this. I've slowly been learning that the simpler the topic or idea is, the more difficult it is do. Simple ideas are usually very vague so that leaves a lot of room for creativity but leads to many more questions. More complex ideas are very specific, still contains creativity (but not as much as a vague idea), and leads to less questions because it is more specific. I don't know which type of idea I would rather have. It depends on how I feel. If I am in the mood to work more, I would want a more vague idea but if I am not, a more complex idea would be better. Normally people think vague ideas are better because they are less specific which means less work but if you think about it, it is actually more work.
