“Technology and life only become complex if you let it be so.”
Boiling your life down to what is truly important to you is the ultimate act of simplicity. Society has created expectations that we are conditioned to strive for, and has us chasing after possesions that we feel we need to make us complete. Things have the ability to make life feel simplier, but when we really examine modern life with all of our reliance on these things, how simple is it really? We have become so dependant on our things to do things for us and it comes at a price. We allow ourselves to accept society’s expectations and be subservient because of our “need” for these things which adds infinite complexity to our lifes. The facade of perceived simplicity from things blinds us to the simplier truth of how life can be if you strive not for what society deems to be important, but for what you feel is truly important. We may never be free from complications in our lifes if we don’t learn the difference between that which appears simple and that which truly is.
