Simplicity

"Oh there was as time when everything was simple"
said one random old person to me.

Thirsting for this simplicity, i tried to learn more yet..

"how is there a time much more simpler than now?"
i asked myself this with great curiousity dwelling over me

For communication was just a few buttons away, and information was just a click from a contraption. What was this simpler time? When to hear a simple hello was to wait for the early mailman? As a young child of this now old world, i could not comprehend the fact that the past was much more simpler. I could not grasp the idea of why was it simpler.

But it was oh so clear from all along..
Time. Yes ladies and gentlemen. Time.

The most logical explanation was.. how the past was slower.
It was once not a fast paced as this. We did not need a minute by minute update of everything.
Everything was to move as accordingly into its place. But now Time has changed.
The thirst for information grows more dangerously then the thirst for money.
An update of everything in the palm of your hand... is definitely not simple.

In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.
-Leo Tolstoy.

Thats what simple is to me
