Simplicity is something we all know is good, but we usually overlook. It's one of those things where you-don't-know-what-you've-got-until-you-lose-it kind of situations. Sadly, as life goes on things get more complicated, with relationships, work, major crossroads in life. We like to dream big, like the Melbourne Model "DreamLarge", then we get all tangled up in sophistication, blah blah blah, that simple is no longer enough. Who needs to drive a Jag, when a small Toyota can do the same job? What do you need a 3 storey house for, when a 3 room flat can house the same family. Why do you need to be the CEO earning $100,000, when all your family needs a month is $8,000?
Yes we want luxury, we want comfort, we want convenience. But do we want it so bad that we forget what we need? Now without a 6-figure salary job our life "needs" cannot be met. How can we live in a 3 room flat?!! Where will my plasma screen TV go? Where will my pool table go? What will I watch without my SCV?
