December 8, 2010 9 Comments
Simplicity is an ability of human minds to eliminate all unnecessary and artifice approaches in routine and professional life.When any person is able to conquer against his unimportant desires and demands which surely give timely pleasures and some sort of superiority complex on others who are living in his/her surrounding, one can say he has won the peace of mind. So it is an adopted and acquired behavior of show off in presenting character, manner, style, and in all things .
Being a strong supporter of simple living which are usually based on:
- enjoying simple and visible pleasures of life within range of honest earning.
- crystal clear dealings with other fellows.
- dutiful attitude for human relations who are dependent on us.
- simple and solid rules of passing life .
All above mentioned attiudes are not easy choices of passing life as one need strong dedication and consistent hardworking to achieve the contentment of mind through such acts.When some one through his/her positive approach comes near to simple philosophy of life, he/she becomes real conqueror of happy life .

Living in state of difficulties, complicated maneuvers,lies over lies to justify the last one and ,showing dissatisfaction what one owns , and all crook human moves can only disturb serenity of life for all who come under some connections.
Under complex themes and laws , society fellows start losing trust, love and support of other people who are somehow attached or dependent on each other.The anxiety of minds for dodging others are usually followed to get short-term but huge benefits or avoiding weight of responsibilities on care free life sytles.Such irresponsible behaviors would ultimately bring complexity and displeasure in coming life which is unseen at the peak time of human enjoyment living in fake setup.
Here is an effort regarding small compilation of simplicity quotes, little bit of inspiring and interesting.
It is so great that such brilliant minds have given words to their experience. They take human thought, emotion, and expression and preserve it in golden words.
I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.

The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.

Most of the human desires of grabbing luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to develop harmony and sharing attitude in any community on the basis of humanity .A contented mind is the greatest blessing a person can enjoy in this world if somehow he/she is able to reach its final stages.Wisest and influential person is not one who creates jigsaw puzzle around his life but he/she can achieve tranquility of mind with a more simple and meager lifestyles . a real example for people to follow.

It is not as simple asu are describing. We have to see the society trend. Simlocty an backwardness can be synonmus if not judged prperly.
Self control is only therapy that can take anybody to this state of living.Simplicity can be swapped by artifice living and result can be over pressure on human nerves.Too much pressure would only take people toward state of distress and ultimately an early collapse than natural decay of human mind,soul and body.
In real life self control has lesser importance as you to follow the law of city or jungle. People and sytem follow the trend from international and national side. Life canr be simple whn get complicared moves.
more we would follow updated trend more we are vulnerable of losing our particular god gifted identity .
Good changes should be adopted but going for show off habits are nothing more than increasing tension on nerves.
Undoubtedly modern life has become strangely complicated and complex yet i feel that the term ‘simplicity’ may not be confused with primitiveness!! A less artificial and unaffected lifestyle would only lessen the burden over a man who has become a part of a ‘cut-throat competition’ and a ‘rat race’ just for all the wrong reasons!
Someone has wisely put it that ‘simplicity’ is knowing when one more rock would be too many, and one less rock would be too few! So its all about keeping a balance in life!!
It is very surprise that majority of western people no matter they are on high status in their setup always behave like down to earth person in front of Public but in Pakistan this trend is very opposite,Here people leave the manners of simplicity as soon as they acquire wealth and some position.These people adopt artificial life styles and other complex people start following them as such fake glitter world look attractive to most of our people.
So race of artificial living without having any solid reason starts.
During my construction period I many times asked contractors and architects that why such difficult and dear option is made in design which is very difficult to manage in real life.There answer is simple that it is fashion or latest trend.But when ever I asked any western designer of his/her new construction idea, they give us logic of practicality, simplicity and manageable in this innovation. So I think we inherited slavery attitude in our genes, other wise I dont find any solid reason of deceptive ways of living .
It is not matter of living simple or adopt compulsion in life but people don’t like monotonous way of living that is why change their moods and trends.So in all kind os life one should live in its range of income.If one can easily manage artificial living then why he would go for simple life as you believe.
Monotonous way of living surely produce dullness in life but it can be make livel with genuine changes not like that which is in contrast of our real culture and take us toward hollow like living style where ultimately its residents come to state of depression and mental collapse as no body go far away under abnormal restrains.
Simple living keeps you in thankful state and if someone is satisfied in simple living then people should encourage this style but in real life it is opposite and people blindly followed glmorous trends.
