Simplicity

It's a great idea, a life of simplicity but not so easy to do in practice, at least not for me. To even get down to the idea of simplicity, particularly in thought and action, probably takes a lot of mental clutter-clearing, which in itself is no easy feat. So many thoughts, if observed, can seem habitual, a stimulus-response to our external environment, often unchallenged mentally until we take the time to check them out. But simplicity is a great concept. So much of our lives in this technological age is complicated and seems to be getting more so. If we can start to simplify our mental and emotional responses to situations, perhaps this will make our relationship with the external world less confusing because we will have more clarity in our thoughts and actions.
