I live without TV, car and most of the other non-essentials you list for 52 weeks a year. This leaves me more time and energy and money to focus on more important things. <BR/><BR/>This approach to life has nothing to do with religion directly. It's born out of something that all humans are blessed with regardless of faith, colour or creed. It's called "common sense". <BR/><BR/>I suppose the bottom line is that there is little point in going through stuff and giving away what you don't need simply to make space for the next lot of tomorrow' charity shop fodder that will be delivered courtesy of Santa next Consumermass.<BR/><BR/>Consume less! Live more!<BR/><BR/>:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
