Simplicity

There is an old chinese saying:
"The beauty of an uncarved block of wood is limitless, where the finished carving is bound by the form given it".

If I were nihilistic, I would read this as a statement of futility. Why would I care to do anything if everything I did was binding it to a particular form? I would not want to take the blame of confining the limits of an object (or person), thereby confining someone else's ability to visualize ...

This was started out as a post about appreciating simplicity.

About how keeping things simple are more natural.

A small testament regarding technology and how it is not the answer to everything.

Counterpoint: I am using technology to write this blog.
