Simplicity
On the card, Simplicity means “to live life simply, with minimal needs”. On Even Over’s map of values, it is in the area called Humility: seeing yourself as a small part of something much larger. That area sits on a boundary between two sides of the map.
How it was placed
The word has one clear link to this value and overlaps with others. Living simply with minimal needs echoes humility's step back from self-interest. The placement is our own and provisional.
Words near it
Values it can pull against
Simplicity sits on a boundary, so no side of the map is directly across from it. It can still collide with other values when time, money or attention is short.
