I am sorry if it seems like that.

I was trying to emphasise concentration on and learning from the simple things in life (eg sparrows, sunshine, plant life) whilst controlling what your mind feeds on.

If I were to go live in a tent in a remote field, the only things I would have to focus on and enjoy would be these things (wildlife, nature) and would not be aware of all the other terrible things. I do not see how you could live more simply.

I do not think appreciation of nature and choosing what to feed your mind on is a goal exclusive to sheltered privileged individuals, since these skills are common to all mankind.
