Project Gutenberg 2007-10-20 Public domain in the USA. 608 Wagner, Charles 1852 1918 Hendee, Mary Louise 1859 The Simple Life Produced by Chris Curnow, Sarah Jensen, Matt Mello and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Simple Life" by Charles Wagner is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work primarily explores the theme of embracing a simpler, more meaningful existence in contrast to the complexities and material excesses of modern life. It reflects on the discontent created by societal pressures and encourages readers to pursue a life grounded in simplicity, virtue, and genuine human connection. The opening of the text introduces the chaotic life of the Blanchard family in the lead-up to a wedding, illustrating how their lives have become inundated with trivialities and social obligations. Amidst this frenzy, Grandmother offers wisdom, suggesting that the incessant busyness detracts from what truly matters—relationships and personal connection. Wagner then expands on this narrative, emphasizing that modern life is characterized by an increase in artificial needs and complexities, which often lead to discontent and moral decay. He posits that true happiness and fulfillment stem from simplifying one's desires and focusing on essential values. The beginning sets the stage for a broader exploration of these ideas throughout the work. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 67.4 (8th & 9th grade).
