Simplicity.

I spent a bit of time browsing through images this evening, I couldn't help but come back to the idea that life is complex today...

...Much more complex than it was intended. Or at least that's my best guess. People are forced to go this way and that, constantly running errands and trying to make up for lost time. Why is it that in this life you are expected to wake up and go work the majority of your waking hours until you retire--until you're too old to work? I just don't understand how simplicity was replaced by hustle and bustle.

Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!  I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.  ~Henry David Thoreau
