We can no longer imagine ourselves without these things. They help us every day and make life more interesting. At the same time, we are burdened by lack of focus and the need for maintenance. We live and don’t think about it, but it’s not so fun anymore and we feel tired.

Yes, we will have to live with all this!

We won’t be able to refuse this. But we have to figure out what is needed and what is not. You can start right now, or tomorrow. But smart and attentive people will definitely have to figure it out. The rest both swam and will float with the flow, taking every day for granted.

If we create things, then we need to be even more careful. Our future is not about governments and corporations, but about what surrounds us every day. This affects us more than elections, wars and disasters.

You can go into the forest - return to your roots, giving up everything overnight. Those who understand the origins will see the ugliness of the modern world. It’s bad if such departure is just a manifestation of cowardice.

This is our world. We have the power to make it the way we need it. All we have to do is understand ourselves what we really need and simply create it, leave it or throw it away.

Life is an endless process from enjoying order to encountering chaos. We definitely don’t have enough time to understand the order of life (although what is order and whether there is one at all). Jordan Peterson urged to clean up your room first.

People perceive minimalism superficially - get rid of the unnecessary, be content with little. Beautiful and fashionable minimalist interiors promise happiness, but there is no happiness without meaning. It’s not the empty desk that’s important, it’s the path to the empty, clean desk. You can throw everything off your desk but still be unhappy and continue to feel tired and panicky.

  • Do you really not need this anymore?
  • Is it difficult to go with this?
  • Where are you going?
