Simplicity

I was reading a book called Himalayan Tales by Ruskin Bond. I never thought that something could make me as jealous! He has written about his experiences in the mountains and some tales about the people there. It takes you away from the complicated city life into a dimension that one may not imagine. The simple, content and peaceful life in the mountains seems so ethereal. Then I look at my life and the people I am attached to. Most people who do affect me actually don't even matter; whereas those who do, don't have to try. The sense of individuality starts to rise. The feeling of helplessness goes away. The locus of control, which started to shift outside me, got back to its right place, in my heart.
