{{ I think that humanity, as it’s going, is doomed.

We waste a lot of time uselessly. We can live more peacefully. Take Uruguay. Uruguay has 3.5 million people. It imports 27 million pairs of shoes. We make garbage and work in pain. For what?

You’re free when you escape the law of necessity — when you spend the time of your life on what you desire. If your needs multiply, you spend your life covering those needs.

Humans can create infinite needs. The market dominates us, and it robs us of our lives.

Humanity needs to work less, have more free time and be more grounded. Why so much garbage? Why do you have to change your car? Change the refrigerator?

There is only one life and it ends. You have to give meaning to it. Fight for happiness, not just for wealth. }}

I’ve done what I can to control the garbage. It takes me 3 months to fill a 28 gal blue garbage bin.

Everyone finds happiness in their own way. I’ve found the ultimate luxury to be not having to do anything, and not having anybody I need to report to.

On the even days but not the odd days.

Happiness is a good day’s work.
