People write about this all the time, but what exactly do they mean? For a society that increasingly seeks satisfaction in technological supremacy, it's about as meaningful as the "I loved you" phrase nowadays. Ok, so sue me, but romance just isn't what it used to be. Anyway...
Say I'm bored, what do I do for entertainment? I listen to music (increasingly done with something else, such as waiting for the damn bus), I watch TV, a movie, DVDs, I play on the computer, PS or XBox. I read a book, magazine or newspaper. I take my car for a spin over Benjamin Sheares (for the lucky few with a set of five wheels - four rubber and one plastic). All carried out with the aid of technology. That's right, even reading is propped up by technology these days. Yes, man has been reading for millenia, but not on the same scale nowadays, what with printing presses and all.
So what do I mean by simple pleasures? I just found an old CD of MLTR hits, and out of curiosity I pop it in the player, for I haven't listened to it in a while. While the music is definitely nice, what surprised myself was that, for the first time in a very long while, I was singing along to it. Not just singing softly or humming, but singing out loud. Granted, my singing voice is no SG Idol standard, but I just didn't give two hoots.
Remember the old days when we used to sing along to songs? And not just sing along to songs, just singing for the damn fun of it. We'd sing all the songs we could remember, from current pop hits to oldies to even kiddie songs. Haha, that was embarrasingly funny in hindsight, but hilarious nonetheless. Singing without any music but our voices can sometimes be just as fun as singing along to music.
As they say, no voice is more harmonious to our ears than our own. Be ignorant, and be blissful. Just this once.
