You ask 100 people what Simplicity means to them, you get 100 different answers. People say, sometime even me, that I like to be simple, I want you to be as simple as possible, I dont like him/her - too complicate to handle ... the list goes on & on for SIMPLE/SIMPLICITY. But the best part of it is none can explain SIMPLICITY without using the word SIMPLE; like simple thinking, simple living.
Few answers I got for this question
1. Being straight forward and Thinking straight
2. Simple job, loving wife, sweet child, liking family, close friend and tensionless life
3. Simple living, High thinking
4. Simplicity means not being simple from outside but being simple from heart
5. Ofcourse it is me. Another name for simplicity
6. It means accpeting myself and others the way they are
I don't pin-point to any particular point and say "This is right". Everyone thinks, everyone has there own view, and everyone are right in there own way.
What does SIMPLICITY means to me?
For me its all about ... "How do I want my life to be AND What do I want in my life". Though the later sentence, "What do I want in my life", is too generic the former applies to every second in our life. If something goes wrong with this then somewhere I can hear ... this is not what I am, this is not what I wanted to be. I don't know how many of us listens to this voice, but yes that is what it is ... feeling of possessiveness. If that is not what I want to possess then that is not what I want in my life and then I hear the voice.
By possessing I don't mean to pocess things which can be touched and felt, even mere change in one's character can change the way he/she wants there life to be. This is where the difference between peoples comes .... Simple life and Nobel life. As one of my friend says "It means accpeting myself and others the way they are", lets accept the way things are but remember ...... "How do I want my life to be AND What do I want in my life"
