Why do we need to talk about simple living… In this day and age, when we see, the human world racing against time to chase astronomical figures in monetary currency (INR, $) … while leaving behind everything we touch in a state of destruction and chaos.
In this large maze of shiny and fancy commodities and digital distractions, how do we make sense of living a simple life and why do we have to make sense of it
These are some of the reasons that might force you to think of a simple life
94% (34% human and 60% livestock) make up the entire population of the mammal world.
while only 6% of the mammal population is wildlife, this includes everything from whales to elephants, wildcats to otters.
In other words, 94% of domesticated species hoard large amounts of earth in the name of food, clothes, belongings, vehicles, personal care, etc…We are populating and consuming at a rate that has never happened before, Probably Dinosaurs had this kind of domination and we know what happened to them.
We are living in and mining for fuel in catastrophically dangerous eco-zones causing large-scale tragedies like landslides, flash floods, earthquakes…leading to massive destruction of the environment, lives, and property.
When we practice simple life, we inherently practice sustainability, eco-friendly habits, and minimalism, thus reducing the burden on Mother Earth.
Some tips to live a simple life
Simple living can be defined as living below your means. We might be able to buy and hoard a lot of stuff with our bank currency but not buying it, and learning how to live with less, is one way of simple living.
Instead, we invest our time and energy to enhance our perception and see, that mindless possession of things and physical assets are signs of an unfulfilling psychological void and not a status symbol.
Re-defining success and prosperity by addressing our need to feel complete, in a holistic way… rather than indulging in retail shopping or acquiring multiple assets in the name of success and prosperity.
Being mindful while picking up your clothes, food, transport, and shelter to fulfill our need to be safe, secure, and healthy.
It is investing in more holistic assets like clean water, clean air, and clean earth by creating green spaces, growing your food, promoting clean business, and consuming products that are sustainably made.
CONCLUSION
We can make the above choices if we remind ourselves every day, that we are mortal and will live less than 75-80 years, The products and packaging that, we use momentarily cannot stay on for centuries… They have to perish before we do.
We must keep reminding ourselves of these factual details in our daily lives and create a market for products, that are sustainable and adopt earth-friendly habits.
