Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose and the other R's are all good and necessary in the practice of simple living.
But at the centre, and guiding the rest of them, is the most important - Rethink.
Rethink
Rethink consumerism.
Rethink the slow unleashing of inquisitive instincts.
Rethink the planned demolition of valuing the personal creation of things and self-sufficiency, as well as the time-honoured values of thrift and frugality.
Rethink the propulsive power of envy.
Rethink the machinery of enticement.
Rethink the siege that has kept the masses hostage to the work/spend/borrow cycle.
Rethink the designation of "consumer".
Rethink the cult of the new.
Rethink stuff.
Rethink everything that has been done in the corrupted marketplace for the last hundred and fifty years.
Rethink everything you have been taught.
Rethink the purpose of life.
