In the future, people will be talking about this time: the lockdown and fear; perhaps of the vaccine, or the socio-political situation. But it would be great if we were able to leave such a legacy and that is what would be remembered.
Personally,
I feel we are generating something special through changes in our behavior and we
are leaving a legacy of simplicity.
Yes, it
does not sound too fancy or too
special, but there has been an amazing effect on people as they had to live on
basic things. Sometimes, it was due to the lack of resources or the lockdown
itself, but most people I know, they have learned to live with less, and they
are appreciating the change.
However, it
is not really less, because when you
live in simplicity, whatever you have is so valuable and it is there to be used
or enjoyed. Simplicity does not mean scarcity or lack of prosperity; it means
focus and gratitude. It means a deep sense of contentment.
One of the
videos circulating around was a couple living with a 4-year old; they were able
to build a slide in their small apartment for their daughter! Their simplicity
enabled them to overcome the sense of stress, to enjoy and to have fun!
What is your experience?
Are you enjoying this
simple life, and if so, how to keep living like this?
