Simplicity and ordinariness are the most difficult states to reach.
Since the society does not recognize any value in getting into them, it is
pointless for the mind.
“... We are here none knows why, and we go
none knows whither. We must be very humble. We must see the beauty of
quietness. We must go through life so inconspicuously that Fate does not notice
us. And let us seek the love of simple, ignorant people. Their ignorance is
better than all our knowledge. Let us be silent, content in our little corner,
meek and gentle like them. That is the wisdom of life.”
(William Somerset Maugham)
