The concept of simplicity, as a religious practice or philosophy of life, has a long history. Inner simplicity and outer simplicity are both involved.
Accumulating material possessions is part of the American Dream. A growing number of people wish to resolve the conflict between the desire to make and spend money and the desire for a simple life. In modern society, our minds are focused on the "busyness" of the day, our current problems, and our future challenges.
As a society, we engage in patterns of material consumption that are damaging the environment. Our country's current guiding economic principles push growth, consumption, and technological advance as inextricable and desirable goals. In our efforts to live simply, we may feel like we are swimming against the tide.
There are countless practical benefits in moving toward simplicity.
