Hi, Thanks for your comment. Re-reading the post it looks a little (to me) that I was being critical of Leo and Rob for owning so few things. This is certainly not the case! I thing minimalising your life is an noble thing to do and something we should all strive towards. The point of the post is, before you rush into throwing things away, you need to really address your relationship with stuff. JUST throwing things away will not help.

I liked your post Matt. It really is all about our own relationship with the objects in our possession and whether they are helping us or hindering us in our journey. By looking at possessions in this way and not in a numbers way it fits [for me] better with how a simple life is an individual thing. What is simple/minimal for you may not be for me or another. I seem to be leaning more and more of late to the energy between things rather than any physical connection. All is energy after all, so it makes sense
