Living a Simple Life

Just like in the fairy tales, as a child we always dreamed of marrying our prince charming, having children and live a simple life. But as the world continues to revolve, modernization steps in and life gets more complicated. How can people live a simple life if everyday they always struggle to be richer and eliminate competitions on the way?

Having a simple life is what we sometimes dreamed of; living in a comfortable house, having a complete family every meal and content of what we have. As of today, people tend to forget and underestimate the power of simplicity because of modern technologies appearing before our eyes, those luxurious things we want to make life easier as it is. Do we think and ponder how these things have affected us in becoming lethargic? And even simple tasks are barely done. With the lifestyle we grew in we have learned that living in simplicity is not enough to survive everyday, we are likely to battle our way to become more superior to others even if it means throwing them out. Compared to the past, people knew then that whatever they have is always a blessing and should be thankful for it. The simple yet bountiful life they had is a mere reflection of what living is about; it is not a survival of the fittest but a struggle of having a happy and content life.

Living in luxury or in simplicity is not a choice but a decision to make, whatever we choose between the two we should always consider our happiness and satisfaction.
