“Nothing is as simple as we hope it will be.” This quote by Jim Horning speaks solemnly to the fact, that life, as we know it, is the most complex reality imaginable. When people set their minds to creating a simpler and happier lifestyle, they soon realize that failure is just around the corner.
Ordinarily, the consensus for living a simple lifestyle is having less materialistic items; but truly simplicity is being happy by surrounding oneself with people we care about. Materialistic items such as television sets, radio, cell phones, iPods, iPads, and other technologies of the 21st century weigh down on our lives and separate our ideas of what really matters. It took years and years of minds and combining ideas in order to create the technology we have today, but do we really need it all? Think back to the 1920’s when the internet, iPods, and computers weren’t in existence. There were people just as happy and willing to live another day on the planet even without a mass amount of technology.
I would like to share with all of you a video that will show you how technology has changed the world over the years.
This week’s query is:
Is it realistic to believe that simplicity is achievable?
