The Minimalists

NOTE

Prioritize Joy Over Relevance

Embrace a ruthless minimalism in life to prioritize what truly brings joy, such as reading, spending time with loved ones, and personal reflection. Recognizing that pursuing every trend can lead to mediocrity in various activities, it's essential to choose a few passions and invest deeply in them, even if that means appearing irrelevant in a culture that values constant engagement and trending topics. Being content with mediocrity in less meaningful areas fosters a more fulfilled life. Questions about responsibility as an informed citizen encourage deeper thinking about how we define relevance and engagement, challenging societal expectations.
