The Minimalist Lifestyle Suits God’s People
Many, like the Knights Hospitaller’s and such, lived lifestyles that were basic, thus a simple lifestyle. Enough to get by but not enough to make a person lazy, loose thinking, or tempted.
I write about this int he sense that a basic or Simple Lifestyle is far better for human health in all aspects, thus better for the human to operate in all areas of his or her life.
Modern Life is based on materialistic Atheist thinking. Make a lot, take a lot, get a lot, and always up to your dying day keep buying and wanting much more, this is the basic life of selfishness and keeps the job cycle (your life and the next person who takes your job after you die and so on) moving.
A simple life means simple needs, wants and desires. It is not a hard life, but more of a healthy life, a life where you desire much less than carnal materialistic people, and you are satisfied with much less, meaning less struggles, less worries, less issues in your life, and this of course means better mental health and physically healthy.
The less you worry, the more healthy your life will be.
If you don’t desire what other people have, then you are not weakened by coveting for what others have, like the neighbours wife and so on. Life is a lot simpler being content with what you already own.
Another advantage of not wanting what others have is the knowledge that you can make your own, invent, and so on. This is good for feelings of self worth, self confidence, and being happy that yu are inventive, creative, useful, and keeps your mind and thinking active.
Simple food means less chemicals, less preservatives in what you eat, especially if you grow your own food. A simple lifestyle means eating less, therefore less fat, and you can maintain a more healthy diet.
Overeating is a weakness, desiring sex is a weakness, coveting is a weakness, and so on, so for a more well balanced life, self control means better health, and less desire to be unhealthy.
Modern people are not taught by parents, society or church to have self control, because they all make money from your uncontrolled spending. The more self control you have, the less that you spend, and the more healthier you live, and the longer life you have, with more energy.
A mind that has less desires and wants, is a mind that will focus on what is really important in life, and will not think of what is unimportant because this mind is not interested in unimportant things.
The more a person is in control of his or her life, the more they can focus on what God wants of them. The desires of the flesh and careless thoughts don’t get int he way of what is really important in life, thus the persons concentration and learning is multiplied as he or she does not allow foolish thinking into their daily routine, but instead thinks of what needs thinking about, while also becoming more aware of what lessons of life that God is teaching this person.
One of the reasons why these types of lessons from God are important, is that experiences, lessons, and what happens to us, are what gives us Wisdom, and that Wisdom we can pass on to children giving them a head-start in life that we did not have ourselves.
The more self control you have, the more self control your own children will have.
