I have always been fond of simplicity because it makes living a little less hectic and shallow, the more I grow and learn, the appreciation for simplicity has also increased. I think since the time I was born; I have always believed in simplicity. If you ever wonder about my look or personality just picture it in simplicity and you will get the idea of me.

There are lots of terms that have been created for simplicity, what’s simple to you, maybe different for the next person, being simple has always been on and off the trend with time, but it never goes out of the fashion. I believe that simplicity lies in just being yourself or truthful and it’s about paying attention to what is essential for you to thrive.

One fact I have seen about simplicity is that it grows with the age, as people get older, they turn to be simple and lose interest in modern living, but still, it goes both ways because not everybody feels the same. More often people always copy others and follow the herd to be feel appreciated by others, but sooner or later they realized the truth and see the actual picture.

“Nature teaches us simplicity and contentment because in its presence we realize we need very little to be happy” -Mark Coleman

Today human greed is one of the many causes that confuse people and make them miserable, the demands or our craving for comfort make us blind to see the power of being simple, truthful, and happy. People’s needs and greediness has hindrance their way of living life in a meaningful way, it dragging away the people from living in the present and people are forgetting to cherish the moment for being alive.

“Simplicity avoids the superficial, penetrates the complex, goes to the heart of the problem and pinpoints the key factors” -Wilfred Peterson

I know people, societies, and life aren’t simple, we live in complicated — not to mention chaotic times. We may not have chosen to live through these times but we can choose the way of living our lives in our way, which can be simple or chaotic depending on our choice.
