The Simple Life: Defined

The Simple Life(n): A way of living that involves thinking about the smaller things in life. Taking a look at the world around you and thinking of how it all got there. Remembering the people who led us to where we are today and considering that perhaps, our way of life is not always correct. 


With everything going on in the world today, I have begun to think thoroughly about why it is happening. Why is there global warming? Why are their floods and tsunamis? Why does everything cost so much and no one can afford any of it? Is Corporate America really a good thing [Big Brother]. Why are their less jobs than there are people to fill them leaving millions out of work? All these questions have led me to the conclusion that when life was simpler, so was the world. 


Maybe it's ironic to write a blog about living simpler since I am using technology to get my point across but that's just not my point at all. I am not in any way, shape, or form suggesting that we go back to a time without electricity and I personally believe that computers have brought us a long way and are a good thing. I am simply a firm believer in self-sufficiency. Do not ask from others of things which you can get/do for yourself.
