About living simply.

Living simply means mostly living with less and to be happy with it .For happiness it is important that all our needs be met and our wants be limited and easy to fulfil.

Many people have defined a fulfilled life as the one which is lived for the benefit of all. As social animal we get a lot from life by doing for each other .In the process we give and receive joy.
It is nice if we develop human potential and are able to make a good living by working 4 months a year and spend rest of the time in pursuits of mind and heart. Most of us even in advanced countries find it very difficult to do so as we clutter our lives with unneeded stuff.
For starters we should continue dorm living for few years after finishing schooling to build a financial base.As we get older we should go back to the same type of living again.That will be ideal of human existence .In middle years because of child rearing we have to have more stuff and enhanced living environment.
It is important to give up Internet and cable TV if you have had it. It is other thing not to be able to afford it and cannot have it.Not having because of choice is much different than compulsion of circumstances.
We could provide free Wi Fi in most cities or for token cost as part of city provided utilities.That can be similar to free library services in many towns.
