Not sure whether being simple is not-so-simple. My contention is that we, as members of human race, rather want things to be complicated. At least, the modern day people do. If one wants to be minimalistic,so to speak, he/she will be so without much effort…
But of course, I am not clear as to what being simpe entails, for you. To me it is about looking for positives. Like in relationships, people are often found to want to score brownie points being righ or wrong. That is one strong urge, isn’t it so? 🙂 In that context, being simple would mean knowing ( and putting that in practice, which is rather difficult than just “knowing” ) that life is short and there are 1000 reasons to fight for every single reason to be together. Question is what we choose- the 1000 reasons or the 1 reason. My conception of simple man, wouldn’t even care for the latter- and thankfully so 🙂
PS- masking my insights from you-know-what in comments on friends’ blogs. Isn’t that fun 😉

Somehow “Less is more” comes to my mind… Not always simple indeed but worth trying now and then, isn’t it? 🙂
