Rule #1: Simplicity
As an illustration of what simple living means.Imagine you are to take your lunch in your favorite fastfood store.As you approach the service counter, the crew is taking your order:Cashier: What’s your order maam/sir?You: Burger SteakCashier: One piece or two piece?You: Two pieceCashier: How about your drink, iced tea or juice?You: Iced TeaCashier: Small or LargeYou: LargeCashier: Anything?You: add french fries pleaseCashier: Small or Large?You: LargeAfter the meal, your tummy is full but you consumed only one piece of burger steak, half a glass of large iced tea and half of the large pack of fries.How many instances this happened to you? Occasionally, many times, or all the time that you, your family and friends eating together and left a lot of foods unconsumed.It’s a waste of your hard earned money and food resources. Why waste money when you can save it for your future needs and remember that millions of our brothers and sisters are hungry.In our example, if we apply the rule of simple living, it means that you buy only what is enough, necessary and relevant to you even if your wallet is full.The purpose of our advocacy for simple life is to teach everyJuan to be thrifty, wise and mindful especially in times that we are facing the pandemic.Simple life is to have more of what matters and less of what doesn’t.
