A call for less = a call for a happier life

There is something of two-people in me. I love the ideal of a life that is lived in simple ways. A life that is structured in such a way that I am free of the confines of 'stuff'.

Then there is the other side of me that wants every little gadget and new toy. That wants to hold onto certain things because even though they are not relevant any more, I still 'need' them. This is best demonstrated in the two boxes of cassette tapes for years - even though I don't even have a tape player to play them on and don't have any plans to get one.

Sigh.

This video spoke to my first side.



I think it is time to throw out the cassette boxes. And to really looks at all my 'stuff'. Time to focus. Time to be free.
