"Consumerism is the belief that things will make you happy. Simplicity is the acknowledgment that they will not." - From a blurb on the book "Rational Simplicity"
Taarna's question: What do I value most? I value simplicity as a way of life. I am not there and I am aware that what I call simplicity will strike some people as not simple enough and other people as unnecessarily spartan.
What are the big questions?
The big questions are often disguised as simple questions.
What are my answers to the big questions?
My answers often require me to ask more questions.
A simple question, short and clear:
How can I make decisions and choices that are in alignment with my values if I don't know what I value?
Taarna's Question: "What do you value most?"
Back Story
I've reached age of existential angst and I'm trying to figure it all out. I'm coming to the end of my time to answer the question, "What do I want to do when I grow up?" It's time to finish the growing-up stage and get on with it. Taarna's question (read about it here) and all that surrounded it really hit me hard. So, here I am and so, apparently, are you.
