I hear, read, or I'm answered " I'm a simple man/woman".
Simplicity- a word that for some people defines a modest , humble, ordinary, common, non-intellectual, unpretentious, knowing where he belongs man/woman.
For me, simplicity is... I don't know how to define it...but all I know is that it shines, it can't be hidden.
Every feeling, emotion, vice, quality can be hidden under a mask - simplicity can't, it shines, even in rags...
A simple man is not humble...( not to mention what an ethereal "thing" is humbleness, it's enough to mention it and it disappeared...not to mention those expressions like " In my humble opinion", or "But what do I know, I'm a humble man" , which we all know what kind of humbleness hide! )
Yes, a simple man is not humble, but he neither is proud, although he has pride...
A simple man is not a "diplomat" but he doesn't lack the common sense.
He is not " modest", he just behaves naturally.
He is not sophisticated- he will tell you exactly what he thinks, without passing through his mind the thought that he can hurt you, he speaks the truth without thinking about what you want to hear.
S/he might be not too well trained, educated, but s/he always learns from every experience.
He will never think how your friendship (relationship) will help him, will be useful for him, he just enjoys your company with all his heart.
A simple man is honest, reliable, true... his reasoning is natural... his mind is SIMPLE,
Ordinary? No!!
Common??? I wish!!!
Simplicity can't be worn like a mask. It's not enough to want to be "simple", you must become again simple...
Simplicity... is it simple? I don't know, I rather say that is noble...
I will say that a simple man is SIMPLY A REAL MAN!
