ASCETIC LIFESTYLES 😉
The more ascetic a lifestyle the happier I am. However, an ascetic lifestyle is often only preferable once you’ve experienced the alternative – and find it hollow. And an ascetic lifestyle is only enjoyable if you have something to occupy yourself with that isn’t resource intensive. And finding something you enjoy that much often requires you’ve tried many things. For this reason, asceticism appears largely in those who either accientally discover happiness in simplicity early because it is their natural personality anyway, or those who discover it late after experimenting with the alternatives and finding them wanting. 😉 So, in general, that’s not encouraging for everyone in the middle. 😉
