Modern Asceticism
I have some things I try to avoid in life.
- eat fast food
- take recreational drugs like alcohol
- eat meat
- buy fast fashion
- use social media(other than Twitter)
- turn on my notifications
- read news
The world thinks I am ascetic and it makes me feel like one. But if I seek for truth and try to live well, I have no other choices.
This crazy world of abundance makes someone trying to live just well seem like an ascetic monk.
