SIMPLICITY

What would it look like to live according to needs rather than wants? In the beginning, there didn't seem to be much of a choice. It would seem that you spent most of your time searching for what you needed to live; food, shelter. For some reason, we have totally complicated things. Restuarants, clothing stores, boats, vacations...it all seems so over the top. Living in poverty forces you to seek survival. It forces you to live according to your needs. While the people who live in poverty don't have their essential needs taken care of, they surely seem a lot closer to living simplistically than we in the United States ever could. If we can help them to get to "needs covered" and not "United States Lifestyle" we can help, but not hurt...God.
