SIMPLICITY
What could you have done…?
In today’s world, Simplicity is a word that most people don’t want to hear or hold on to; perhaps they feel that simplicity is demeaning and not good enough to be mentioned among one’s personality. As it may seem, simplicity does not denote in any way weakness, static, inferiority complex or poverty as the case may be, but simplicity indicates beauty, purity or clarity, absence of difficulties, effort or confusion.
By neglecting simplicity, most people have completely stabilized with a lot of pain and harmful things; severe as the case may be, many have paid with their precious lives for neglecting simplicity. Consider Uzoma a young man from a comfortable home; he had a bright future ahead of him. At his age of ’18’ he didn’t need cars, houses or a big bank account to be a happy young man. But Uzoma was not simple; he was not satisfied with the already existing comfort that was owed to him for the time being. He chased riches and riches, fame and prominence and other good things in life. As energetic as he was, he chased after him to catch his desire. (The simple truth about our desire/wealth is that the more we chase to grab them, the later we behold a better desire and so the fiery pursuit of our desire goes on endlessly.)
He managed to acquire as much wealth as possible, in the process he spared no time for more important things such as: health, spirituality, family responsibility, etc. After a few years, Uzoma’s life was no longer safe, the men of the underworld dared to need his wealth and her life along with it, because of her popularity and wealth, even his friends and family wanted him dead. out of jealousy and greed; and after a while he was diagnosed with a terminal illness due to stress and other related factors. As time passed, Uzoma’s condition became more critical with a fallen state, fearing the disgrace of his fallen state, he sought help to replenish his life. Spiritual (fetish) powers certainly have the limitations and complications of it. For Uzoma, no help came from that medium. That was his limit in his life, at 24 years old he was gone. Too short! It would be said for such a young man.
Simple/voluntary simplicity requires that the person give up or cultivate a way of living that is simpler on the outside and richer on the inside, a way of being in which our most authentic and alive self is in direct and conscious contact with Living Now. Compare the case of Uzoma with that of Kunle, who did just the opposite of what Uzoma did. He simplified his life and avoided the problems that plunge men into trouble. As such, he had time to attend to more important things, had reservations for his comfort, did not fear stress-related illnesses, did not attract men from the underworld, avoided sleepless nights, no one was jealous. of him because he was straightforward and not braggart, not bordering on the fallen state and so on.
In fact, there are several cases where simplicity can be applied, unlike the example above where Uzoma already had a lot to fall back on before he wished to accumulate more wealth; there is another caliber of people who have little to manage in life. This simple man even though he has a little, he feels comfortable. How does he do it? He cut back on the excesses, he searched for his needs and not his wants, and buying from him is not expensive but good and cheap. He spends a few dollars on food and grooming, if he shows up center stage you’ll take him for a millionaire as long as he’s not alone nearby.
The simple young men and women in society have had the most satisfying relationship/marriage because they simplified their lives; (Ladies, don’t be disappointed, men today play with complex women but settle down legally with simple women as wives) Gradually what seemed horrible became the most admirable. Couples who refuse to keep a simple eye end up having an unhappy home, when desired expectations are not met, anger, annoyance and physical aggression set in. This has torn many marriages apart.
This article is not aimed at reproaching wealth or industry, rather the goal is to extract the benefit and attractiveness of simplicity. Simplicity has its hidden beauty, when applied; it stands out so distinctly different. If you observe nature you will discover that simplicity radiates on it, the Christian example Jesus Christ showed this quality throughout his life. The great men of time immemorial and of the present increased honor and made a good name for themselves because they applied simplicity. Unequivocally, a simple life works for good.
Beacon of simplicity with a soft call: ‘I have added value to your life, I have lifted the burden on your shoulders to relieve you, I have greatly reduced the racing of your heart to avoid unnecessary illness, like a bodyguard, I have stood up against your enemies, the hidden pleasures/treasures of life that I have revealed to you, a formula that I have derived for you to solve the complex arithmetic of life -‘how easy now’, the limitation of time, I have gotten out of control, the restless days and sleepless nights, I have replaced them with calm and deep sleep…
We are two who work together, without the other nothing works. Humility is the access key to reach me; It is the network that unites you to me, get hold of it and I am all yours.
