ミニマリズム(最小限化)をスタート
今日は家の掃除機がけと窓ふきをしたあと、ミニマリズム(最小限化)の一環として、
・某大手ポータルサイトの有料サービスの解約
→途中ひつこいくらい、再考を促すメッセージがありました。
・じっくり読もうと貯めていた新聞記事の取捨選択
→時間がたつと、あらためて読むほどでもないものもいくつかありました。
などを行っておりました。
やはり、何事もほどほど、あるいは必要最低限が望ましいようです。
「起きて半畳、寝て一畳、飯を食べても二合半」という言葉もあります。こらからも「欲張らないことで見えてくるもの」に注目してみたいと思います。
Today I spent vacuuming in my house and cleaning windows, then did the following things as ones of "minimalism":
・Canceling a fee-based service supplied by a major portal website
→There were a litany of message that suggested me to rethink until completing the cancel.
・Making a choice of newspaper articles which I've kept to read with caution
→I noticed that some articles were not worth re-reading over time.
As was expected, I believe that I should control myself or do just enough to get by.
A proverb says "We should be satisfied without desiring more wealth and rank than necessary. Waking, half a tatami mat, sleeping a single tatami mat, and we don't need more rice than
two and a half cups of gou (a unit to measure rice in Japan)."
I am therefore going to pay attention from now on to something that I find out without greediness.
