I feel that the author of Simplicity is correct. Simplicity can mean many things, like focusing on what is important and forgetting the rest. "It can mean living with few possessions and entanglments, but more broadly is is an attitude, an approach to life." But also I must disagree with the author. Simplicity is more than just a spice, an attitude. I feel that simplicity should be a way of life.
Simplicity can mean focusing on what is important. I think the author is saying to focus on family and friends. The people closest to you matter more than tv, video games, sports, etc.Your family and friends also help you maintain simplicity. They may tell you that you are being spoiled or a jerk. These things can help you remain simple and whole.
Simplicity also can mean, more literally, living with no possessions. This can help you remain simple because without too many possessions, your life is basically the defintion of simple. Living with little possessions is good but living with no engangments or worries is even better. Without any engangments and therefor no worries, you eliminate the stress of everyday life and let you focus on what really matters."Simplicity helps us to maintain clarity of mind and purpose."
This is interesting, Woo. Thanks!
ReplyDelete4/5 points. Please make sure you capitalize acronyms like "SPICE". Also, be sure to write in complete sentences. This is not a complete sentence, "Simplicity is more than just a spice, an attitude." If you reread your entries aloud, I think you will catch some of these errors.
