    Do you buy things to make you happy? I do sometimes, but in reality these are fleeting baubles. Perhaps only love can persist. True happiness this way lies.

    No, mainly women do this. It's the explanation of the walk in closet phenomenon.

    Not really, I am quite the minimalist. Trying to get better about it, though. There is a balance.

    I sometimes buy women to make me feel happy. It usually works for an hour or two. No need to come out of the closet.

    I used to.
    I don't anymore.
    It doesn't lead anywhere, you just lose money lol.

    I am a huge sucker for cosmetics and all that, but I've become better about it.
    I'm not buying anything until I spend all the shit I already have.
    How many face creams/moisturizers does one need? xD

    I am leaning towards minimalism these days, and that's something I'd like to have in more aspects of my life.

    gloria transit mundi. public transit can save the earth. lololol i know. another subject, or sort of is. but isn't really entirely at that.
    not for those of us who see and love the wonder of it.

    minimalism for its own sake, is like anything else for its own sake: its own sake is all it accomplishes if it even does that.
    however, there is a very great deal humans con each other into, that is completely superfluous.

    we existed long before we invented money for example, and in some places did so quite comfortably

    for my own happiness, the only things that need to exist are trees, trains, computers and little furry creatures,
    other then food, shelter and dry land to stand on.

    none of these are entirely quite simple things,
    but they are things that less burden the mind,
    then relationships between humans,
    both individually and their institutions.

    Personally I am finding myself to be a creature of spontaneity so I honestly can't say. I do D&D, MTG, 40k, Jesus, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Odin..... LOL rambling again. Spontaneity....
