I watched How to live a simple life on BBC. Living a simple life connotes living in a countryside and possibly growing vegetables and flowers in the garden without too many modern gadgets to play with. Simple life also meant, for me anyway, living in a small community at a slow pace. But I now wonder if my understanding and perception of simple life as an opposing concept of a complex life is valid one.
I beginning to think that we can and need to find simplicity in complexity. Living a simple and meaning life is not about growing vegetables and removing oneself from the world and building a wooden house in a forest.
I feel it is to do with a mindset that dares to live in the interconnected world, fiercely making connections and building relationships by surrendering self to the world but yet to be able to explain that! Something I certainly need to carry on thinking about....
