A philosophy?

[grimarcher]

So I am thinking of trying to develop a general theory of living, based on a single precept: "Comfort through simplicity". Thoreau probably spewed a few words on the subject, which is fine, but I want to try one myself

On my friend's list, the post right below yours is a friend of mine preparing to embark upon a six month journey in London. Her post begins:

As I sit on my childhood floor, surrounded by the clothes of 12 years, I ask myself Do I really need four different pairs of brown boots? The answer is, of course, yes. Do I also need three different coloured Converse? Yes. Six additional pairs of shoes? Yes. Seven pairs of jeans? Yes. Five blazers? Duh. Five bags? Naturally. Fifteen dresses? Not even a question.

jaaaajaaaa
I did actually laugh out loud.

I like the idea of comfort through simplicity. I was on the subject of being robbed yesterday and I realized that I didn't have much that another person would want to steal from me. If my place was broken into and my stuff stolen, that would probably be a good thing for me. I hold onto things for sentimental reasons, but it just ends up being a lot of crap and I never know where to put it. It stays in boxes and I look at it when I'm cleaning out a closet or moving. I'm probably going to move in a few months. One of my goals is to get rid of most of what I don't NEED.
