Minimalist beliefs

there is an ordinary bedroom in the Hermann Twin Towers in East Berlin, Germany. The sun shines in through the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and all the furnishings in the room are a white bed and a yellow floor lamp. There is nothing else. This is the home of Eva Maria Stedell, a German female architect, in East Berlin. She lives and works in it, but she doesn't have a dazzling array of objects like other designers. Not surprisingly, Eva is neither a follower of some Eastern religions nor a thrifty ascetic. She is just a minimalist designer and turns this minimalist aesthetic into her belief in life. There are no extra furnishings, so keep daily necessities to a minimum. "this extreme reduction makes it easier to focus on the few items in the room," Eva said. This environment is calming and sharpens your senses. " This is the basic belief of minimalists.

our great Mr. Jobs also believes in minimalism. It is said that Jobs had very few items, except for the black coat he wore all year round, and only one set of expensive audio equipment. Jobs is also a Zen believer, and the reduction of goods reflects the cleanliness of his mind from one aspect. No sundries, no miscellaneous thoughts, so there is the most beautiful realm. Apple's simple and stylish product style and corporate culture are inseparable from Jobs' philosophy. It can be said that it is because of Jobs' simplicity that Apple is popular all over the world. We live in an age of garbage. Every time you blink, thousands of mobile phones, thousands of computers, and thousands of clothing items are shipped to garbage dumps around the world. These items are discarded not because they have lost their usability, but because the company has released an updated version to replace them. These new versions are just stories made up by companies to make more profits, and use various modern ways of communication to coax consumers to pay for it. And these so-called newer and better things will soon become yesterday's flowers on the garbage truck. So what do consumers get? A real improvement in the quality of life? Or the fashionable and decent show-off capital? Is it the gentle enjoyment of inner pleasure? Or the endless desire to buy? Is it taste? Is it the texture? Do you need it? Is it an expression of self-personality? Or Bubble? Is it fast food? Chasing the wind? Is it that you don't want to be left behind? The proliferation of material involves not only environmental protection but also our spiritual problems.

Advertising enslaves and catalyzes our desire to buy things we don't need. To this end, we work hard. Exchange 100 hours of overtime for a donkey bag, and then spend more time in exchange for diamond necklaces and luxury cars, perhaps just for a slogan in the advertisement. Once upon a time, when diamonds did not enter the field of consumption, people lived a good life. Later, after being brainwashed by a diamond company, it is said that diamonds are the endorsements of love, so we have one more goal in life: diamonds. Later, when more and more industries brainwashed people, our life goals began to become huge, including clothing, mobile phones, perfumes, digital, cars, beauty massages, star hotels, and so on. The only thing missing: ideals. On the material level, we know that we want this or that, everything. But once returned to the essential level, but at a loss. We know nothing about our concepts of life and time, and our perception of our surroundings is weakening, sometimes even worse than a kitten. All this depends on the alienation of matter. We trade our lives and time for meaningless industrial copies, and these copies become a burden because we have to spend more time picking up, using, and taking care of them. When we complain that we are buried by the trivialities of life, we may be buried by our belongings. This is the alienation of things to people. So minimalists, know what they want and are better able to tell what they don't need. He would rather spend 100000 yuan on a painting by a favorite artist than 4000 yuan on a tablet computer he doesn't need. Because goods must serve for their ideal of life, not for the sake of things to change their ideal of life.

Shu Kuo-Chih, a Taiwanese writer, still rents a house and doesn't even have air-conditioning or a TV set at home. This is quite shabby in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is the basis of Shu Guozhi's happy life. He drinks expensive wine with his friends in an upscale hotel during the day and sleeps soundly in a cleanroom at night. There is nothing to disturb. It is really pleasant to walk, eat and drink tea. Liberate yourself from external things, so cultivate a rich heart. His concept of life has become a fashion for Taiwan's literary and artistic youth to emulate. Apart from the material realm, we need to liberate ourselves from endless objects; in life, we also need to simplify our lives and liberate ourselves from endless desires. Modern people do not have many hobbies (if watching TV, shopping, partying, and eating on the Internet can be regarded as hobbies, I am speechless), but they always feel that there is not enough time. Except for working overtime and spending money on shopping, all our time is spent on happy Weibo soap operas. Turn off the computer, close your eyes, suddenly feel the nothingness of life. 

From classic to trendy, our wedding dresses for fat brides are an essential pieces for any wordrobe. The easy way with the highest high value.

Only in remote villages, you can see the joy of all kinds of folk art in life, it is a kind of fun that can be tasted carefully, it is a kind of fun that can grow with life and dance with time. In the city, calligraphy, poetry, dance, and art have all become the patents of a small number of people, or the past that they once had. Not only art but also our ideals and past pursuits have all been defeated by modernity. Modernity gives birth to desire and squeezes the quiet and comfortable heart.

We are addicted to all kinds of hidden things, such as Internet addiction, game addiction, shopping addiction, and TV watching addiction. If someone does not have the above addiction, how comfortable he should be, to be able to focus on what he thinks is important, such as growing flowers and raising fish, such as research photography, such as focusing on starting a business, he lives every minute and doesn't feel wasted. However, many of us do not have such a state, so our lives are disorganized. Now I danced, I learned to play the violin, I went to church to listen to mass, and now I went to burn incense and worship Buddha with others. The desire is endless, want to do everything, and finally have no time to do anything. In retrospect, I feel like I've lost something. Therefore, we might as well let go of everything and let life go blank. Without any interference, our hearts will show up to know what we want and how we are going to spend our lives. 

Only in this way can we follow our hearts and lives as we please. To sum up, minimalism is not asceticism, it does not prohibit our desires, but liberates us from all kinds of oppression and leads to a better life. Minimalism is not asceticism, it does not deny the role of things, but make better use of things to serve life itself. It pays attention to life itself and resists the alienation of things. I'm not a minimalist. I am also full of troubles from time to time because of the complexity and disorder of my life. Although I always wanted to throw away unnecessary things in my room, my room was still increasingly crowded, and although the Zen master taught us to let go, I was still full of thoughts. But I believe minimalism provides us with a healthy lifestyle. Like Zen, it is a belief that leads to the realm of beauty.
