介绍:
Ready? I was born ready. There’s nothing wrong with consumption. The problem is compulsory consumption. We’re tired of acquiring things because that’s what we’re “supposed” to do. When I heard about minimalism, it wasn’t about just getting rid of my stuff. It was about taking control of my life, and stop being told what to do and actually deciding what I wanted to do.
This same thing that’s not making us happy is also causing the degradation of our habitat. We’re going to have to give up a lot, the secret is that a lot of that we’re not actually going to miss. What I found with minimalism is it’s a way of saying “let’s stop the madness.” When you recognize that this life is yours, and that is your one and only, and when that seeps directly in your bones, and you recognize that this is it, everything changes.
准备好了吗？我早就准备好了。消费没有问题，问题是强迫性消费。我们疲于获得东西，因为这是我们“应当”去做的。当我听闻“极简主义”这一概念，不仅仅是关于摆脱掉物品，更是为了掌控自己的生活，停止被告知要做什么，而要真正来决定我想做什么。
相同的东西不仅无法使我们快乐还危害了我们的居住环境。我们要舍弃很多东西，事实上，事后我们不会怀念其中的绝大多数物品。我所了解到的极简主义便是向混乱说“不”。当你意识到人生是你自己的，你只活一次，当这种观念深入骨髓，你就会发现一切都改变了。
