The testimony of simplicity is a shorthand description of the actions generally taken by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Friends or Quakers) to testify or bear witness to their beliefs that a person ought to live a simple life in order to focus on what is most important, and ignore (or minimize) what is least important.

  • The testimony of simplicity is a shorthand description of the actions generally taken by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Friends or Quakers) to testify or bear witness to their beliefs that a person ought to live a simple life in order to focus on what is most important, and ignore (or minimize) what is least important. The Religious Society of Friends believes that a person’s spiritual life and character are more important than the quantity of goods he possesses or his monetary worth. They also believe that one should use one’s resources, including money and time, deliberately in ways that are most likely to make life truly better for oneself and others. The word testimony describes the way that they testify or bear witness to their beliefs in their everyday life. A testimony is therefore not a belief, but is committed action arising out of their religious experience. Testimony to simplicity includes the practice among Quakers (members of the Religious Society of Friends) of being more concerned with one’s inner condition than one’s outward appearance and with other people more than oneself.

  • O testemunho de simplicidade , é uma descrição breve das ações geralmente escolhidas pelos Quakers para viver uma vida simples, a fim de focarem-se no que é mais importante, e ignorar ou deixar de lado o que é menos importante. Os Quakers acreditam que a vida espiritual de uma pessoa, e o caráter dela, são mais importantes que a quantidade de bens que possuem ou seu valor monetário. Os Quakers acreditam que uma pessoa deve usar seus recursos, incluindo dinheiro e tempo, deliberadamente de formas que sejam as mais prováveis de tornar a vida realmente melhor para si mesmo e para outros. A palavra testemunho descreve a forma que os Quakers dão evidência de suas crenças no cotidiano. Um testemunho, então, não é meramente uma crença, mas uma ação dedicada, que parte da experiência religiosa dos Quakers. O testemunho da simplicidade inclui a prática entre os Quakers de estarem mais preocupados com a condição interior de uma pessoa, do quê com a aparência externa, e com outras pessoas mais do quê consigo mesmo.
