Minimalism
How much stuff is enough?
Instead of human connections
Society is drowning in possessions
What we own ends up owning us
Materialism has made us nuts
Don’t love things and use people
Use things and love people
Sadly that’s not what were told
Consumerism is what we’re sold
Climbing economic ladders
Has become all that matters
But even winning in this game of monopoly
Only chains you to more & more property
And builds a bigger social barrier
That certainly doesn’t make you happier
So, declutter your mind and view
Your friends are the real you
Not the items you hoard
But the adventures you explored
Not the money you accumulate
But the memories you create
Let’s learn from hunter gatherers:
An equal community of minimalist travelers
“A mans wealth is best measured by the things he can do without”
Henry David Thoreau
Brought up amongst contrasting cultural worlds I seek to continuously understand more about the troubling yet beuatiful existnece of human life in this bizzare and mezmerizing universe of ours. 😀
