There is a movement these days toward de-cluttering, or downsizing possessions enough to move into a tiny, ultra-efficient house. The movement toward having less can be a beautiful thing, but it stands alongside the fact that there are billions in the world who do not have enough for basic health, let alone wholeness and human development.
How would you define having enough?
Although I do not live frugally, and enjoy opportunities now that I’m retired, to go places ad buy things that please me, I have always tried to live within my means so that I am not in debt. This has varied over my lifetime; I remember once while working on an advanced college degree, that I decided to put cardboard liners in my loafer shoes rather than buy a new pair. However, in defining the basics I think it is obvious: shelter, food, health care, transportation, ways to be in contact with other human beings.
