REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Needs Vs. WantsHow is creativity necessary for practicing simplicity?
Paulina Pacholska 10/21/2019 2:08 AMStrictly speaking, our needs are always very basic and there is always an overlay of wants that coat them. Having food is a need; where does the want in this respect begin? Does it begin with what we eat or where we eat? Is it how we eat? Wearing clothes is a need (keeps us warm)but beyond this it is wants. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONSimplicity Buy Used ClothesDo people with economic privilege have a responsibility to consume and own less? How can the concept of "reduce" be presented to those who may be struggling to have enough food, clothes, shelter?
