Simple but better

I have begun to notice that people who subscribe to a philosophy of simplicity tend to be much happier than those of us who surround ourselves with complicated things, people, and ideas.

If you take kids with autism for instance. They tend to be focused on one thing, and that solitary activity brings them more joy then the rest of us can imagine. Whether it be doing laundry or watching Thomas the tank engine, it's the fact that they are not easily derailed from there goal that proves them to be awe inspiring.

There is really no telling how the mind works at all times, but should we all be lucky to find simplicity in our lives, we just might be happier. Now I'm not naïve enough to assume the world would be a better place, but on days like this when the sun is out with its glorious rays, hugging onto the skin like a loving mother, perhaps a simple stroll down the street is all it takes.
