The Simple Life - seriously

Humans are born really complicated. They want everything especially money and success in life. Some of them say that they want a simple life but do they really? Perhaps The Simple Life - Paris Hilton way?

For me, the simple life is having no concerns about what other people say. The simple life is eating simple, dressing simple, talking simple (perhaps not much talk at all). The simple life is Tao, being ordinary. Gardening for the love of touching soil and planting stuff, seeing the earthworms in the soil. Listening to the birds flying by. The simple life is walking in a stream in a Malay kampung.

No need to eat at posh restaurants, no need to wear expensive branded clothes, no need to carry expensive branded bags. No need to be seen.

The simple life is taking a drive through a small town and looking old buildings, talking to old people, walking in a park with not a worry in the mind.

The simple life is just looking up in the sky and watch the clouds go by, or watch the sunset.

The simple life is sitting on a mat under a tree by a pond on a clear day with blue skies and mild breeze. Now, that is simply heaven on earth.
