Simpler things.

I often wonder why things can’t be simple, and why we tend not to appreciate littler things in life, and instead, indulge in gargantuan falsities.

I’m guilty of this positive consensus of the larger things in life, whether presentation of yourself, or otherwise. Who wouldn’t love to indulge in all things expensive and elaborate? In some cases, loathe the lifestyle of frugality and frivolity. Why should we have this morality of developing lust for paraphernalia, beyond our needs? Could this greed satisfy our gargantuan appetites? In my own understanding, I believe people who have desires are influenced by paraphernalia being endorsed by others, the perpetual comparison of a indulgent lifestyle being compared to that of a parsimonious one.

Regardless of materialistic items, it’s circumstances, situations, why can’t dilemmas within these be simpler? In conversations some of us struggle on what to say to let time fly, when arguments occur, words are twisted, distorted to either exaggerate or raise fury between each other. Why can’t solutions in life be simpler, or is this too much of an ask of such a developing world of emotion and matter? It hurts to witness situations evolve into something which it’s not, into a twisted, more complicated illusion of what it once was.

Perhaps I haven’t quite witnessed the simplicity of this world, but I hope that one day it can be appreciated and endorsed. In reality frugality develops us, not expense and lust, the world is not the phrasing of what we could call “the life of Riley”.
