[[Notes]] - Topics: [[Simplification]] - People: Einzelganger - Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPBlDD_8WNE --- ## Summary - [[Wholesomeness comes from within]]. - "[[Those who know they have enough are truly wealthy]]" - [[Do as much as possible with as little as possible]]. - [[Being in the moment doesn't require anything more than our attention]]. - "[[Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify.]]" ## Notes - By consuming less, we save more. More of what we have and more of ourselves. - Consumption (indulgence) reframes and retrains our understanding of necessity - burring the lines between need and want. - [[Don't go into debt to make somebody else rich]]. - "[[A man is rich in proportion of the number of things which he can afford to let alone]]." - [[Wholesomeness comes from within]]. - The feeling of completeness isn't something that you seek outside, it's something that you cultivate inside. - "[[The wealth required by nature is limited and is easy to procure, but the wealth required by vain ideals extends to infinity.]]" - Don't allow your environment to influence you beyond your necessities. - "[[Time is the one loan which even a grateful recipient cannot repay]]" - [[We can exchange time for money. But we cannot exchange money for time.]] - [[The things you own ends up owning you]]. - Complexity doesn't come from the endless shouting of external voices, but us allowing ourselves to listen and to succumb to them. - "[[Those who know they have enough are truly wealthy]]" - The ideal is just enough. - [[Do as much as possible with as little as possible]]. - [[Being in the moment doesn't require anything more than our attention]]. - "[[Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify.]]" ## Original ![[Simplify, simplify - A philisophy of needing less-1.jpg]] ![[Simplify, simplify - A philisophy of needing less-2.jpg]]
