Simpleking and Grumble

"I produce enough for myself and the people around me and that is why I consider myself to be self-sufficient;" claimed Simpleking confidently.
 
"hmmm," pondered the Grumble, "but doesn't self-sufficiency mean that you produce enough just for yourself?"
 
"In a narrow sense yes, but that selfish form of self-sufficiency is unsound economically. Sooner or later, if you don't consider what is around you, your self-based self-sufficiency will become a center of weakness rather than one of strength." Said Simpleking and then added to clarify; "self-sufficiency should include both the Self and the Extended Self."
 
"And what is this Extended Self?" asked the Grumble, like he didnt know.
 
"That's for you to decide." Said Mr Simpleking, as if it was the only reply that could possibly make any sense.
 
With that, the Grumble sat back in his chair and looked up to a star hanging from his ceiling. This was the cue that meant that the meeting was over and that Simpleking will leave now to work on his new assignment. His, was a very hard job. No one ever gave him clear instructions or offered any form of help. Simpleking simply had to find the mission by himself, with the help of a few hints, that he may or may not find. After that, he has to find a solution and to execute it in the most optimal manner. When all is done, he doesnt get a Bonus, or a Reward, a Badge or even a Lollipop; just Mr Grumble's absent-minded loss inside a star in the ceiling and that is just enough to make Simpleking's missions worth all the frustrations and sacrifices that come with them.
