Chuang-tzu said “What
has nothing to do with life is anything excessive. Simple food and old clothes
are enough to take care of essential life; why do you need wine, gourmet food,
and silk for your life to be complete?” Yet, most people are engaged in a competitive
mentality to outdo someone else, or search for the ‘finer things’ in life when
they wouldn’t know any if they came up and bit them on the bottom. Live simply
and simply live.
