Finding Contentment in Life’s Simple(r) Things

23 November 2010One Comment


In today’s era, gadgets and digital technology do seem to have grabbed our young children’s attention and time.

And thus I do find it somewhat heart-warming to see how in a different part of the world, in a place where perhaps most would regard as ‘less civilised’ or ‘far from modern’, children still do find laughter, fun, friendship and togetherness … in life’s simple things.

Really.

I look at these two pictures and thought to myself, perhaps their relationship with one another is stronger than those found in big cities.

Perhaps they somewhat are ‘more content’ with what they (already) have than our modern city kids (ie. kids with endless wants for more of this and more of that, kids who perhaps are generously showered with MORE than what they need).

Hmm.

Food for thought for us modern city people, I guess.
