Haha this is so sweet. The avoid eating fat bit seems a little out of place. Fat is ok, we do need some, what we could live perfectly without is sugar. Everything else you said I agree with as much as I agree with what Goethe said. It was something like, try to read a good poem, look at marvellous art and speak a few sensible words every day. He may have also said something about drinking wine.

I also agree with the poster, this is why I shy away from owning anything that is too big for me to carry if I wanted to leave the place I’m at. That includes debts. Sometimes I do dream of being able to drive and owning a nice car but when I think of the faces of friends’ when they lost theirs and most of their wealth with it, it really isn’t worth it. I know many people are forced to own cars, it’s just the most obvious item since the people where I’m from don’t need them but still own loads. Oh and Jewellery, at least the kind that is considered expensive only because it’s rare, I find the idea of owning such revolting and primitive, I still need to get rid of all the gold I inherited. And before anyone points a finger at me for owning a computer, the only thing that has immeasurable value to me is knowledge, to miss out on such a powerful weapon like the Internet would be a grave mistake. I own more books through my computer than my local library ever had.
