For many people, the biggest obstacle to simple living is feeling like they have to justify their decisions to the people around them. Although I don’t get where this “keeping up with the Joneses” mentality comes from, I say that not with judgment or contempt but as someone who’s struggled with those feelings myself.
I think this is one of the reasons the internet has become such a powerful presence in our daily lives. While the people around us may think we’ve gone of our rockers for decluttering and simplifying – or really, for any of a hundred decisions we might make – we can always find someone in the blogosphere who shares our philosophy. I think even when we’re confident in the decisions we’re making for our families, it helps to know that someone else agrees with us.
Living simply is radical in today’s society.
