Human desire has no limit. And since it is limitless and there would be no way to limit it, and in the process of trying to fulfil some of the desire, we are so miserable, why can't we just learn to ignore all those desires? Why must we pursue them at all?
Life is somehow ridden with pretense. Ridden with narcissism manifestated as selfconsciousness. One day,we'll just die. Our lives are so short and significant. Why must we further add on to our misery by going all the way out to trouble our soul to fulfill those forever-unfulfillable desires.
I want to live like Diogenes.Just the bare necessitities of lives. The simpler the better.
Tired of pretenses all the time.
But I must admit that Diogenes is an exhibitionist. One can do b etter without that trait, just live simply. Don't buy, don't spend money on unnecesary things..like sweets, junk food, fruits.. soda..accessories, big houses, cars..
ONe just need shelter= small room.
warmth= blanket and warm clothings
clothings= for decency
one meal per day+ water= bare survival
glasses= to see clearly
some money for medicine
pen and papers
light
utensil
tea
shoes
bags
air
fan
soap and shampoo
things one can live without:
TV
newspapers
junk food, soda, milo, fruits, sweets
cosmetics(just need deodorant)
the rest of the other things
all the emotions and rollercoastal unneccessary of human relationship
people in third world countries have only one meal a day and bare necessities and they can live. Why can't I?
