我发现我在设通讯首选项时把“没有人”看成了“所有人”，造成大家无法浏览我的日志，对此表示歉意。感谢杜琳同学指出了这个问题。

Our ancestors rode horses from country to country, risking the danger on the way, to send messages in mail. Now a software called Outlook or a cell phone can do the same easier. The world is developing rapidly, we humans too. In fact, those new things were all invented by us.  Having much more knowledge, we do have rights to feel proud. It is understandable that we may think our way of life should be a totally different one. In some aspects, it does. But new problems showed that not all of those “simple” are less useful.

When our ancestors want to go somewhere, they walked or ran; today people buy vehicles to “take place of walking”. Sitting for too much time results in fat, pain in waist, poor digestive system. Our ancestors rest at nightfall and got up at sunrise, they kept energetic all day long. The “modern” think that staying up at night with a cup of coffee or a piece of cigarette is the fashionable way. For example, to many college students, the time when to sleep corresponds to the blacking out time, even later. As a result, they keep sickly from the first lesson of the day.

We are advanced today. We have break up many records which the ancestor thought as limits. Does it mean we are not human beings any more? Without food and water, we still die in 48 hours. Without sunlight for years, our skin still turn pale. As long as we cannot deny we are humans, the “simple” way shouldn’t be replaced.

Think about our “simple” ancestors without prejudice, you will find that they are smart, too. What we had regarded as less advanced methods were just limited by their horizon, knowledge, it was a period that we must go through. And using such original methods, they could make crafts that no one today can go beyond that level. It would be a tough problem for engineers to build another pyramid. Many old sayings such as “The early bird catches the worm” and “every road leads to Rome” play an important role in education. Businessmen and military experts are paying more and more attention to the old masterpiece The Art of War.

Using the old ways doesn’t mean we are not developing. Actually what we think as “old” ways are not real ways the ancestors used, but they seek. Many of them couldn’t achieve what they want and suffered from cold and starvation for the lack of money or technology.

Our desires have no ends, one day it will ask beyond our reach. Why not choose the simple ways? It is a Win-Win between the nature and us, besides, brings harmony and happiness. Simple is the way lead us to eternity.
