Living Simply vis-a-vis Simplemindedness
In a preceding post, I established that ‘Living Simply’ boils down to arrival at overarching principles, which guide decisions, actions, and ‘choice of activities’ in every feasible facet of life.
In that discussion, with ‘Acts of Love’ having characterization as ‘Acts that Improve Welfare’, I proposed the following rubric as an overarching principle for facilitation of Living Simply.
To Live Simply is to spend all of one’s time in:
Conception of Acts of Love that are designed for benefit of oneself and others, and that are to be implemented in future;
Formulation of previously conceived Acts of Love into Concrete Steps that facilitate implementation;
and Implementation of previously conceived, and formulated Acts of Love.
Universality of applicability of trio of Conception, Formulation, and Implementation is evident in several spheres of life.
In Manufacturing, an Invention equates to a Conception; Prototyping of the invention correlates with Formulation; and Production of the invention is equivalent of Implementation.
Every manufacturing initiative traverses Conception, Formulation, and Implementation.
