Millennials, Minimalisim, and a Can Opener

in philosophy •  8 years ago 

Personally I'm not one to categorize people based on shared traits or differences they share from other people; categorization is pretty much the cause of racism and hate, although I do like the idea of minimalism. I would say that I'm fairly minimalist in nature. I don't really like big fancy houses and nice luxurious cars and all that a simple car and a roof over my head will suffice. I don't need 5 bathrooms and 20 bedrooms if I'm living alone it's an illogical lifestyle. Life is about living so why do we overcomplicate it with all these guidelines of what we should have and what's luxurious and big when a small apartment that offers you freedom will be more than sufficient?

That's an interesting perspective. I've never thought about racism that way. Thanks for reading!

The main idea behind the statement is of we create categories that people fall under we can then judge others more easily and place them into categories either good or bad. If all stopped talking about the differences between people and stopped making categories for people then nobody would fall into any category and we would see people as people not their category. It's my pleasure man, thanks for sharing!
