I would like to lead a simple life for the following reasons:
- A simple life is less stressful for me
- A simple life can help remove some of the distraction of everyday life so one can focus on the more important things.
What is a simple life?
A simple life allows one to not worry about the basic things that can consume our time and attention. It involves reducing our impact on the resources around us, including:
- land
- energy
- water
- possessions
- time
Time – Space – Energy – Mass – Existence
and also will reduce the time and attention needed to maintain the above items.
