減少囤積 清爽過日
.
你有沒有發現，在某些長輩的家中，總是可以看到堆積如山的物品，說也奇怪，這些長輩都有一個現象，就是都有可能是子女不在身旁，或是為了固守節儉、不浪費的一種美德表現。
.
不同於某些收集唱片、模型、書這類特殊愛好者，這些長輩的收集完全就是雜亂無章，沒有目的式的屯積，細細研究其背後心理因素，那就是「沒有安全感」！用囤積物品來讓自己覺得擁有很多。
.
其實，人生的快樂，完全不在於他擁有了多少，相反的，「少即是多–less is more–簡單就是美」。簡約主義不是甚麼高深的哲學，而是能理解人生其實是一連串減法的過程，只有讓自己越來越簡單，才會越來越快樂，東西越少越沒有負擔，才能讓心靈身體達到真正的自由，毫無牽掛！
.
很多人還以為，很會收納就可解決問題，殊不知很多用不到的東西，就算收得再整齊漂亮，它還是沒有意義，不管你花了多少錢買的，再珍貴，沒被使用也只是一堆雜物罷了！
.
其實要減少物品囤積的心法，就是要體認人生不過是一個練習「斷捨離」的場域而已。如果能將不用的東西捐出去，給需要的人使用，那意義更大，回收來的將是心靈的快樂，這是再多金錢也尋不著的。

Have you noticed that some elderly like to amass possessions? Some of them do this due to loneliness – they do not have their children at their side and frequently reminisce about the past. Some do this due to thrift.
Unlike hobbyists who have specific targets of collection – music albums, models or books – the elderly amasses random items without purpose. The psychology behind this behavior is actually a lack of security. Their sense of security increases with the amount of possessions they have.
In reality, happiness does not depend on how much a person has. In fact, as the saying goes: “Less is more; Simplicity is beautiful.” Minimalism is not a profound philosophy. It is about how to gain a better understanding of life by reducing the clutter in your life. By simplifying your life, your burdens will be reduced and you will gain true happiness and freedom!
Some people think that it is only a problem if the items are stored messily. But in reality, no matter how neatly you pack the items, or how expensive they are, if they are not used, they are still meaningless clutter.
To counteract this mentality, we need to recognize that life is just a platform for us to learn to give and to let go. Rather than hold on to things that we have no use for, we should give them away to people who need it more than we do. That is a lot more meaningful and it will give us a lot of happiness – much more than money can ever give.
