simplicity act consciously.

13. They reduce their need for
purchased services or goods.

14. So they don't need to sell
their time for more money.

and enjoy their free time.

makes people happiest.

to consume to feel good.

just like before.

downshifting at all.

like poverty.

22. Because simple living is
voluntary simplicity.

23. And poverty
is not a choice.

24. Simple living
is not a pill.

25. Simple living
is just a choice.
