"The simple person lives the way he breathes. With no more effort or glory, with no more affectation. Without shame....Simplicity is freedom. Buoyancy. Transparency. As simple as the air. As free as the air... The simple person does not take himself too seriously. Or too tragically. He goes on his merry way, his heart light. His soul at peace, without a goal. Without nostalgia. Without impatience. The world is his kingdom and suffices him.
The present is his eternity and delights him. He has nothing to prove since he has no appearances to keep up, and nothing to seek since everything is before him."

- Mattieu Ricard from Happiness: A Guide To Developing Life's Most Important Skill
