Success needs no such symbols and there are no proxies in attraction!

Do you really need that expensive car to sexually attract or to feel successful? Success needs no such symbols and there are no proxies in attraction!

IMO, too many people spend too much energy in the rat race "wars" and have little energy left for making love! Which kinda misses the point or defeats the purpose!!!

An attractive personality (male/female) IMO does not need material status symbols in order to attract. So instead of working your .. off to make the money to buy material status symbols, develop your intellect and your interests, IMO

Wanted

1) A greener - less materialist, more intellectual products oriented version of capitalism

2) A simpler but more satisfactory way of life, still consistent with the basics of Western civilisation.

Consider the pros and cons of 200 years of industrialism - what to keep and what to revise.

The materialism Trap

Do not fall into the trap of trying 2 impress (wo)men who are impressed by material possessions by accumulating fancy material possessions

Happiness: For an intellectual and physically fulfilling life

These are some elements of my life philosophy:

Greed is mis-channeled zest - passion for life!

Material possessions are not a cornerstone of our (western) way of life

The only genuine possessions are those you carry and keep in your mind and your heart!

Leave material possessions behind, carry only what you need, (re)discover the intellectual and physical pleasures in life! Kingdom of the mind, empire of the senses.

lifestyle Living 2010+: Less materialist, more intellectual, more sensual = happiness and sustainability and better for the Earth as well
