Principles that define

The principles that define you are often the ones you implicitly live by.

For me, it’s the old saying, “Simple living, high thinking.” My wife and I have certainly mastered the “simple living” part. It’s the “high thinking” where there’s a bit of a discrepancy.

My wife is one of those gentle souls who wouldn’t hurt a fly. As for me, if a fly crosses my path, I’d probably squash it. So, in my case, it’s more like “Simple living, mediumor at times lowthinking.”
