For A Long Life - Keep Your Life Simple!
David Idle
It may be too unsophisticated, but keeping your life simple is
an important key to longevity. Aside from prolonging life, it
makes a long life happy.
What is the purpose of a long life, if you spend most of it in
illnesses?
A short life is better than a long life of being bedridden,
medicine sustained, and pierced by dozens of intravenous tubes.
In all the perplexities that are going on around, many people
have forgotten how simple “simple” really is. They have
forgotten that one key to a healthy life is being downright
simple. Simplicity is often times so profound to other people
that they do not believe it unless someone complicates it for
them.
They find it hard to imagine that once upon a time, people
lived comfortably and very happy — that satisfaction exists
even without TV, air conditioners, or phones. They lived much
longer and healthier lives long before the discovery of Science
and Medicine. They don’t need some social science expert to tell
them that needs are proportional to progress, and that needs
cannot stay as they are while progress goes on, especially at a
fast pace.
Well, some people have found the secrets to keeping simple
while progress goes on running a crazy race around them. We
will see this later in this book.
This thing about life being complicated (and should be made
complicated to enjoy it) has been impressed on people by media
and by a “metropolitan culture” that says life is all about
competing and coping up.
Daily, from every possible angle of attack, we are bombarded by
manufactured suggestions that we cannot be simply simple — that
you got to have this and that, and you got to be this and that
— or be left behind by the majority and be worlds apart from
the rest.
This is mostly the spirit of modern commercialism. Though not
actually said, the mindset of “being simple is a sin” has
become rampant.
In case you haven’t noticed, commercialism has become the
strongest life pressure, and the strongest life killer! The
pressures brought about by stressful competition can kill!
Recently, Australian health experts discovered that too much
emotional and work related pressures produce chemical reactions
in the blood that later develop into fatal diseases like cancer.
According to physical therapists and massage therapy experts,
pressures build up lumps in the body that constrict smooth
blood flow. These constrictions produce your unexplained body
aches that can later weaken your body defenses. They are
harmful to your health.
Advocates of simple living say that Commercialism is blowing
surface-deep physical and vain emotional needs out of
proportion by tricking the conscience of people into believing
that non-conformities to suggested and highlighted commercial
needs are bad.
Simply put, it is saying, “You’re a loser if you don’t have
this!”
Commercial needs are often for physical beauty, trendy
accessories, fame, prestige, fashion, and other mundane,
temporal, and non-essential things, all of which man can live
without. These things excite and resurrect the spoiled brat in
people.
