In every Christmas Day, I try to assess myself when can I live more simply?
It was one of my emails with my sis-in-law, ie my husband's only sister who is a very simple lady with a very kind heart. She is a devote buddhist. She wrote that she wanted to donate most of her clothings and things to associations to all those in need.
She wanted her new home with simple things and live very simply. She didnt want to buy extra furnitures and extra things to make the house messy and need so much time to clean or arrange them but rather her time to be devoted to all those needy in her surroundings.
When can I be like her? Can I throw all the things that belong to my children that were kept by me for so many decades already? Can I just simply throw away all books and any clothings that are not in use now? I am still skeptical about myself then, throwing away can just take a few minutes but what if I need them? Am I going to buy them over and over? Isnt it another wasteful thing?
Undecided!.. When can I live as simply as possible like a "nun"?
