television because it was a main concept of my lazyness. not saying that i blame t.v. but i know see that i can live without it.

Answer 2

This is a really good question. It is one I have been working on recently in my own life. Here is my answer, although, It's not entirely what your question asked, but related.

I am trying to live without lots of material things, because I think they only confuse living with wanting.

Try reducing the material things you live with. We are really capable of living with far less things than we think. For instance, look in your utensil drawer. How many spatulas do you have? You really only need one. How many gadgets do you have, like cherry pitters and apple cutters? Is there a way you can release those?Reducing the stuff ultimately reduces the clutter in the mind. When you buy something new, do you release something old?

It is all about attatchment, and the more attached we are to things, the more we suffer. There are lts of emotions tied up in letting go--of things, and of emotions, but the mor ewe let go of, the freer we become, to experience what life really has to offer--like moments with one another, sunrises, sunsets, the smell of the ocean, the smile of a baby.
