Simplified Meaning:
People often feel a strong desire to make life less complicated. Think about how good it feels to clean up a messy room—when everything is neat and in its place, it’s easier to find things, and it feels peaceful. In the same way, when our lives are simple, we can focus better, feel less stressed, and enjoy the little things more. Imagine having just a few close friends instead of dozens—they are easier to stay in touch with and spend quality time with. Or picture a clear schedule with only a few important activities instead of being overwhelmed with too many commitments. By seeking simplicity, we can find more joy and calm in our daily lives.
