极简主义不代表着苦行僧，是“够用就好”的智慧。我们减少自己膨胀的物质欲望，欣赏“旧物”的美，了解“共享”背后的真谛；延伸出去更大的内涵，我们拒绝不必要的应酬，不必要的资信轰炸，同时我们也对环境，对他人，减少过度的干扰，并视之为尊重。 Here minimalism doesn't mean we live a life of an ascetic monk, it's all about feeling enough about the needs. We reduce our expanded desires about materials, appreciate the value of second hand stuff, understand the essense of sharing; As an extension of minimalism, we say no to some unnecessary social occasions and information. At the same time, we minimize our interference to the environment, and others as well. All this is valued as respect.
