Did we ever thought that how all our lives we tend to run after the most extra-ordinary things in the world? After all it is humankind’s innate desire to possess all the precious gems that make them do the most unbelievably bizarre things in the world!!! But it is the quest for the rarest things that make me wonder on the mere motive of our existence. For our tendency to ignore the simple things and yearn for an unfathomable dream that seems alluring only to our eyes beats the joy of leading a purely simple and blissful life. After all, what is left to achieve when joy chooses to cease our life due to our silly idiosyncrasies! Nothing but pangs of frustration runs through my body to see how easily all of us fall prey to the glaring atrocities disguised in the form of ‘good-life’. How all of us continue to misunderstand the difference between ‘virtual’ and ‘real’ happiness? Our inability to see the beauty of simple things sets the ball rolling for all our troubles. A pity that most of us tend to view this as an overtly unmotivated way to live!

What we fail to notice and accept is that the might of simple things is immense. What needs to be changed is our mindset. Over centuries we continue to believe in the assumption that a simple thing or product is plain and a rare thing or product is precious. It is ‘we’ who set rules of what is simple and rare. If you ponder for a while you’ll realize what I am trying to communicate! Do you feel any different when you eat lip-smacking roll from a road-side stall to when you’re dining at an 5 star restaurant? Yes, the setting makes a miniscule difference but the end result remains the same. And that is in both places we end up filling our stomach only! I am still unable to unravel the mystery then why is simple plain and rare precious?

Infact, decipher this. The various intricacies of life that we have to deal with everyday make  life very comlicated. ‘Simple’ and ‘Simplicity’ the two most rare and valued thing in today’s time. Which means that mankind’s quintessential search of attaining the extra-ordinary is nothing but an attempt to armour their many follies. Simple living / Simplicity / Simple life scores above the rare because in simplicity lies a rarity. It gives us an opportunity to live life like a child again. It lets us embrace life whole-heartedly and makes us let go of our inhibitions. It teaches us that we don’t have to travel miles to touch the rare gem. Rather, just listen to our heart-beats well that always and only sways to the tune of a simple life. Because in simplicity lies ecstasy!
