I love simplicity but exist within complexity. Sometimes I wonder if it's me or society. Living simply is very attractive, but seems unattainable at the same time. Perhaps it's that I'm trying to gain what I can't have. I do not feel it is all me though, because I had the opportunity to live simply and I enjoyed it very much. In fact, I did not want to return.
Why is living simply a struggle? There is something wrong with your society. I feel at odds every day with societal structure. The world would work more easily if people lived more simply. This should be looked upon positively, not negatively. Let's give tax breaks to the corporations which are degrading the environment we are living in and polluting the air we breath but do not make it easier for organic growers, to produce their more wholesome and pesticide free foods.
I wonder if it will ever be easy. Either I choose to live within societal standards and be miserable or I live a life impacting as little as I can on the environment and be at odds with society. It is so frustrating! Sometimes I don't know what to do... but force myself to get out of bed and go to work. All the time asking myself, why?

Yin and Yang. It's not a simple case of two extremes. It's a continuum as is everything and choosing one side is ALWAYS the wrong answer. Find and then maintain balance between the two sides.
Like Yin and Yang.
