Comments on: What Simplicity means to me.

Simplicity according to me is a state where I am in peace. In current times, we're constantly on run and we don't find peace anywhere. Consumerism right, we squander our money on things which are not needed and only desired and they lose their value within few days, after that it all becomes rubbish. I heard once from a very good philosopher that just take a good look at your own house and you'll realize, there are so many things which we never use but still they're there. The same thing I read on web. How much we've cluttered our mind with materialism. To be simple and stay simple is difficult but not impossible. It's about keeping a golden mean between two extremes and if either way gets heavier, our mind starts to take stress. You’ve posted a very deep article.

Technology CAN simplify. Absolutely, the simplicity movement sometimes seems to only focus on going “back” to an earlier state and making our own soap. Technology CAN simplify.

I don't understand why some people think technology complicates. It makes life so much simpler!! Haven't you ever been late to meet a friend, thought you knew where you were going, checked it on your iphone, called your friend to let them know you were late, they tell you they've moved to another location for lunch...and then you ask yourself, what did we ever do without cellphones???
