What is SIMPLE anyway?

I want to live a simpler life!  What a buzz phrase in today's crazy world.  But what does SIMPLE mean anyway?  Does it really represent what I am trying to achieve? 

Merriam Webster's online dictionary has the following definitions for SIMPLE:

1.  free from guile - INNOCENT

2.  free from vanity, ostentation, display - MODEST

3.  of humble origin or modest position

4.  lacking knowledge or expertise - NAIVE

5.  constituting a basic element - FUNDAMENTAL

6.  free from elaboration or figuration

7.  not subdivided

8.  not limited or restricted - UNCONDITIONAL

9.  readily understood or performed

Synonyms - plain, unadorned, undecorated, unembellished, unornamented, unvarnished

Interesting - I think many of these "definitive" definitions can be misinterpreted or misused to describe things that I think are not that "simple" to define (ha!).  I think that something someone else considers complex may be simple to me.  And something complex to me may be simple to someone else.

Would this flower be considered SIMPLE?

By definition, some may say it is not free from ostentation (look at the bright colors and the detail of the veins) or readily understood (what does it take for this flower to grow and survive) or free from guile (a flower often used to "repair" a relationship or encourage someone to feel better).  It definitely may not be considered unadorned or unornamented with its bright red highlights and its showy center.  

But to me, it is simply beautiful.
