Essay On Simple Life

All our prophets advise us to lead a simple life as it gives more pleasure than the life of rich people. “Simple life”, says the Prophet Mohammed, “set my heart on high thoughts.”

It is a good thing that so many people in Europe, America and elsewhere have, during the recent years, come to see how much more pleasant and sensible simple life is, than one given over to much spending, much show and much vanity. Men and women who have enough money to buy expensive things will forbear from wasting their riches in this way. They enjoy simple food rather than a rich menu, wear simple dresses and furnish their houses with necessary furniture. People who work hard are the best servants of humanity. They live in a quiet, frugal manner which keeps them in better health and enables them to take more active part in the world’s upliftment.

I consider it a sin to waste money on personal pleasures. Whoever spends too much on luxury, is wasting stores which might be used for the feeding, clothing and maintaining his poorer neighbours. We should make our functions and celebrations simple, and on all important occasions we should remember the suffering humanity, and give away some part of our treasure in charity. Great people have taught the value of austerity by living a simple life. It would be rather nice to develop courage to lead a simple life and pledge to do good work.
