1.Breaking away is to understand oneself by sorting out things, sorting out the chaos in one's heart, and making life comfortable with action technology. In other words, it is a way to tidy up the waste in your heart by tidying up the clutter at home and making life happy.
2.The protagonist of the renunciation is not the object, but himself, and the timeline is always the present. The trick of choosing an item is not "whether it can be used", but "whether I want to use it or not", which must be engraved in mind.
3.Renunciation is the subtractive philosophy of life, minus superfluous things, minus extravagant desires, minus the burden of the soul, minus the distractions of the environment. Giving up is not blindly throwing things, but selectively and consciously subtracting for life and adding for the soul.
4.When you're struggling with whether or not an item needs to be thrown away, ask yourself: Do I really need this item? Is it right for me? Will my life be affected without it? If the answer is no, then discard it decisively.
5.The object is a mirror that reflects yourself, and what it reflects is the self that you want to think does not exist and do not want to admit. To face objects is to face oneself. To deal with objects is to deal with oneself and one's relationship.
6.The process of renunciation is actually a process of self-discovery and self-affirmation. Through conversations with objects, we can better understand our needs and values, and thus become more clear about our direction in life.
