Minimalism

 Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

-Leonardo Da Vinci

Living a simple life has always fascinated me. My life revolves around my friends and family. They are enough to give me all the enjoyment I need. I do not require materialistic things to complete me. I am neither a fashion buff nor I have craziness about branded clothes. I get whatever I demand from my dad. Even though I am simple like other I celebrate my birthdays with huge cake, hang out with my friends often, and splurge on a nice hotel. I do all that makes me happy.

 But sometimes we often complain of not having contented life. We compare our lives with our neighbors or friends or other family. Due to all this I see a world around me everything ballooning out of shape. Cars are the size of school buses, houses are as big as convection centers, shopping mall are the size of pentagon. It seems greedy to take more than my share of water, electricity, gas, ozone, food and goods. I think bigger is blander, and when everything is too big, the earth’s infinitesimal beauty gets blocked out. If everyone lived smaller, perhaps there would be more for those who have little.

Even now, when I looked inside my crowded closets, I feel wasteful and disrespectful of the fact that my life is full. It’s like winning a race with unfair advantage. It’s easy to b outlandish if you have enough money. But not everybody can be satisfied with what they already have.

I have exactly enough to live a lonely life, and I believe that having enough is more than plenty.
