Too fucken much

I agree with that line above; people feel the need to have so many things but in truth much of what people have is unnecessary. I'm not talking about third-world countries where having a fifteen year old mobile phone and a handful of jolloff rice is considered a lot...I mean in first-world countries where people can often have whatever they want.

But life isn't that complicated really, we just make it that way...and call it progress. We don't need all of what we have but it feels nice to have it.

Food | Shelter | Warmth | Social Interaction

They're the basic human needs in life although everyone has way more.

I get it, living a spartan life of only the bare necessities wouldn't be very nice and society is geared towards consumerism but in my opinion people have far too much and far more than they need; I don't just mean you, I mean me too. Everyone.

Ok, maybe everyone except those Medieval folks in the image above.

What do you think about this and what are your own experiences?

Do you have too much stuff and if so what could you discard and go without? Are you a slave to consumerism and lack the ability to say no to want-spending? What changes could you make? Do you feel life could be more simple and if so how? How did life get so complicated in the first instance? What advice would you give to someone wanting to uncomplicate their life and why?
