What a great slogan. Say no when society suggests a silly idea. I love it. Fruitless endeavor, no thank you.

Sometimes I day dream about our kids perceptions of things in the future never having been exposed to the constant barrage of advertising conditioning them to buy buy buy and find satisfaction in material crap. I’m excited to see the sort of people they will become, there’s already great excitement at their growing virtues and strengths. Amazing stuff.



People are always surprised that we have no television in our household, and our consumption of media is limited to pre-purchased movies on particular occasions (sickness, holidays, etc)

You don't have to engage with everything society tells you you need. You can just... ignore it. In my experience, many people speak highly of freedom, yet don't behave freely themselves.
