The simple life IS the extravagant life. I do believe that simplifying takes a little bit more effort and concentration, especially in a land that values the idea that if you have more, you are more (I wonder if that really ever worked for anyone). Being attached to and defined by our possessions is an incredibly stressful place to be, no? I am not against the actual purchasing of "things", that would be craziness. I like "things" too. However, the challenge lies in not placing self value in these items. We are worth so much more.
