Deep words those, R! Simplicity is so desired, yet difficult to maintain in this world of make-believe and ephemeral living. For fear of being made redundant, or maybe rejection, we cover ourselves with a layer of fake stardust…
Aren’t we an odd species, R? We create stress in our lives so that we can try to be what we probably are not, and reach where we – in all likelihood – do not need to be. And finally, after achieving the unnecessary, we yearn to de-stress in what we, in all probability, actually should have sought in the first place!

True N. I truly miss the good old days where life was simple and stress-free. While we didn’t have many luxuries, small joys made life happy.

Can’t agree more N. We are not only odd, but greedy too. We are just running in circles!!
