Not enough

I was surprised by the volume of interest from the distinguished readers of an article last week about the method of “Minimalism”. This made me think and research more about the subject, which I expect to be a feature of the age in the coming decades as a logical reaction to dumping in materialism, but in addition to that, simplifying life has a lot of Beneficial aspects, such as increasing productivity and strengthening social and family ties, simply because asceticism and dispensation generate a positive feeling in the human being, which pushes him to more productivity, and gives him a feeling of contentment and contentment, and not looking to what is in the hands of others, but perhaps the person reaches a degree of growth and height approaching a state Sufism.

Simplifying life means getting rid of what is not important, and focusing only on what matters to us and is irreplaceable, and this falls on everything, so starting with food is enough for one or two items on the table, and not necessarily eating meat every day, and for clothes, the life style of the founder of Facebook "He is a great model, he does not occupy himself much with what he will wear, as he is simply famous for his appearance, so he acquires the same color for all his shirts, and unlike material possessions, the most important thing in simplifying life is getting rid of" emotional structures ", which are relationships that drain our energy and are always in a state of tension and attraction If we are in unbalanced and unhealthy relationships with some knowledge or family Friends, it is best to terminate this relationship because it will do more harm than good. Losing here is a gain, and I wrote an article about "structures" here several years ago. Measure the number of friends on Facebook and the rest of the means of communication. Perhaps our preoccupation with following the large number of fake friends distracts us from caring about real friends, who really love us and make an effort to make us happy, but we may have forgotten the closest people to us in terms of “unintended distraction”, That is why I paused a lot in the face of our noble Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, “What is said and sufficient is better than what abundant and distracted.” We have to define carefully and consciously what is little enough for us, and then get rid of all that much and distract us from the focus. I think that the things that a person should not economize are his relationship with the Master, the Exalted, the Exalted, the Excession of seeking forgiveness, obedience to God, and doing good, and learning is one of the endless things, and a person must adopt a life course and encourage those around him to do so. It is worth noting that there are a lot of books and websites in the English language on the subject, but there is not a lot of content in the Arabic language, as there is no translation yet for the term Minimalism so I am happy to know your experiences and opinions on the «simplification of life» method and its application.
