“We have invented a mountain of superfluous needs. Shopping for new, discarding the old … That’s a waste of our lives! When I buy something, or when you buy it, you’re not paying money for it. You are paying with the hours of life you had to spend earning that money. The difference is that life is one thing that money can’t buy. Life only gets shorter. And it’s pitiful to waste one’s life and freedom that way.” – José Mujica, President of Uruguay #minimalism #minimalismo
