The physicist's sacred mantra: simplify until reality breaks. Need to calculate a car's motion? Just draw a rectangle with an arrow. Human falling off a cliff? That's a dot with velocity. The "free body diagram" is basically our way of saying "I refuse to acknowledge the messy complexity of existence." We reduce everything to its mathematical essence, then act surprised when students ask why their box-car won't start. It's not laziness—it's elegant approximation. And if you disagree, you're probably just another box I haven't labeled yet.
