| I’m convinced Thoreau would have had a Kindle, Gandhi would blog and Confucius would have dropped philosophy bombs on Twitter. SimpliFLY 2k10. |
How is it possible to apply the lessons of simplicity preached by all the brilliant, bearded men of the past to this life?
Do they roll in their simple graves now that “simple” means music players, cameras and phones are now only one item?
Nature is still beautiful, especially in HD. People still fall in love, like on The Bachelor, and eHarmony. World peace is still a priority, at least for 1,937 people on Facebook.
The truth of simplicity that remains constant over the generations is that it is not the path of least resistance. With the discipline and focus necessary to live the pure life, to live simply, in fact, is only getting harder to do.
It’s 2010, and now the simple are simpliFLY. Granted, they might have data plans, cars, accessories and lame excuses for beards.
But what they also have, like their inspiration, is a life of passion and purpose. These are the enlightened ones, whose life meaning is too ‘simple’ to be explained in under 140 characters.
