Simple Life = Happy Life

It’s been said for thousands of years,
“A simple life is a happy life.”
Otherwise, we evolve into the machine.

With a simple approach to life, we take time to appreciate a oneness with everything. This isn’t an airy-fairy lifestyle – it’s being practical; clear the drain properly, change and reseat the washer in the tap, repair the wood in a rotten window frame … We aren’t fascinated, just pragmatic; neither ignoring situations nor people is actually satisfying.

Through understanding our reality, rather than following the crowd, life simplifies when we stop over-reacting, exaggerating and being puffed-up. We no longer go along with all the material, emotional or spiritual excitement.

In dealing with each moment with clarity as it arises, there is nothing special as everything is special. This reduces and gradually eliminates karma which is our habitual response of “I think this, I think that, they should do this, they should do that … ” We’re no longer thrill-seekers, as quality of life is more important than quantity.

The result is a happy life.
It may not be comfortable, but it’s workable.

Life becomes happier when we stop following others’ convoluted ideas.
Those are their affair.

Be aware of monkey see, monkey do.
In our own good time, we drop it all.
