The More You Know . . .
Ten Reasons for Choosing to Live a Simple Lifestyle
- As an act of faith and an expression of personal commitment to more equitable distribution of the world's resources.
- As an act of self-defense against the mind and body polluting effects of over consumption.
- As an act of withdrawal from the mindset of our materialistic society.
- As an act of solidarity with the majority of humankind, who have no choice about their lifestyles.
- As an act of sharing with others who have given so much to us or to return what was usurped by us through unjust social and economic structures.
- As an act of celebration of the riches found in creation and shared in community.
- As an act of provocation. When we simplify our lifestyle, we arouse curiosity, which leads to dialogue with others about affluence, alienation, poverty, and social justice.
- As an act of anticipation of the times to come when natural human-made resources are depleted.
- As an act of advocacy for changes to patterns of production and consumption (i.e. fair trade, buying direct from the producers, etc.).
- As an exercise of purchasing power to redirect production away from artificially created wants toward the supplying of goods and services that meet genuine social needs.
- Adapted from a list compiled by Jorgen Lissner, a UN Develoment Programme worker in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
