The "lens" effect of starlight bending around a large body due to the
attraction between the large body and the photon is understandable to
me, but if I am to rely on space (can't bring myself to say
"space-time") doing the bending, I just can't make the leap. It
requires adding abstraction upon abstraction. Why should the universe
be so complicated?

So it can contain simple things like you and me to almost
understand it.

No, wait! That almost sounds like the answer to a catechism
question: "Why did God make us?"
