A simple legacy

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?
