Simple Life ,Simple Living

One should not outlive with his income. Living life in simplicity means that we have to be contented with what we have. It is saving up for the rainy days just like what the ants are doing. It is maximizing the use of the things that we already possess like clothes , shoes , and bags which we do not have to buy often. Simple , frugal or thrifty people are the people who usually get rich. 

The feeling of contentment with what we can afford is important so that we may live simply. Some buy extravagant things just for show. The virtue of humility accompanies the virtue of simplicity. A simple person is a humble person. Hapiness and contentment abound with people who are simple and humble.

Simplicity can be said to be a source of true joy. Let us aspire to be truly happy by being simple and by being contented with only things that we need to live a comfortable life. let us not aim at what we can not afford to have. This may lead us to commit a wrongdoing and hurt others ,and forget about being good

Let us not allow ourselves to feel miserable for not being able to have good and expensive things. Let us not allow ourselves to be tempted to do something  bad just to acquire things that we like but do not really need. We can find ways to be happy even without these. After all, it is the feeling of happiness and the good things we have done to people that we can bring along anywhere we go. Living a simple life is a value we have to keep in hearts and minds.
