Toki Pona is a language that simplifies ideas to their most basic elements. If you are hungry, you 'want eat'. To teach is to 'give knowledge'.
Training your mind to think in Toki Pona can lead to deeper insights. The micro-language filters out the noise of our excess thoughts and points to the centre of things.
toki pona li pona. mi wile kepeken e toki pona tawa toki lon jan pona mi. toki lon toki pona li pana e pilin mi pona.
I found this book delightful, both as an intellectual exercise and as a way to expand a different way to look at the world.
