Thai Chicken Basil & Simple Living Recipe

I've been dreaming and dreaming of living a simple life for a long time . Not loving material things, not being attached to material things, not busy collecting material things, living a frugal and self-sufficiency life . This dream is always in my mind every day and is made worse by the many videos with a 'simple living' lifestyle that I watch on You Tube. I thought how calm and peaceful life would be if it were not dependent on material things, and how the concept of 'being rich doesn't mean having anything but wanting nothing and being content with what you have now' has some truth in it. 

One of the videos on TED Talk that inspired me was the one featuring Jon Jandai. Jon is a farmer from Northeast Thailand. He founded the Pun Pun Center, an organic farm outside Chiang Mai, with his wife Peggy Reents, in 2003. Pun Pun doubles as a center for sustainable living and seed production, aiming to bring native and rare seeds back to use. Pun Pun regularly organizes training on simple techniques for more sustainable living. Jon Jandai's concept is very simple, for him life is simple but humans often make it so complicated. This complexity is created because humans want many things and sometimes that desire is not an essential need but just a mere desire.
