A Simple life

What is a simple life? Is it where you go about your daily work with an ease of manner. Where you spend time with your friends and family, daily. Where you are not burning yourself to climb the ladder, where you have the time to enjoy the shade of a tree in the summer afternoon. Where you have the time to sit with a stranger, or take a stroll at the sunset. Where you can spare a dime for the needy, a kind word for the unfortunate, maybe a helping hand for the stumbling. Is it all that and more? It sounds like a retired man's life, really.
