The minimalist
art of owning as few things as possible - discarding all
useless objects, while keeping essentials (like clothes, computers, etc).
Lessism usually only counts on personal things that belong only to the owner. It means that it usually doesn’
t include household furniture, dishes, cleaning supplies, or other shared items.
Often times lessism is considered as a badge of honor in minimalist circles, as in lessism is a competition scored like
golf, where the fewest pieces wins.
Minimalist #1: "Dude, I found out about this thing called lessism, and I got so interested that I got rid of all the
junk in my apartment and kept only 100 things."
Minimalist #2: (who already partakes in lessism): "Only 100 things? I have 42!"
Minimalist #1:
Whoa... that is so minimal. I think I need to
head back to my apartment to get rid of more stuff."
