YOLO YODO: Part 2 Minimum Thoughts & Minimum Things

When You Live Only Once and You Only Die Once, why not endear both.

You can live in your own terms, policies and ideologies as long as they doesn't become hazardous to anyone else.

That was just an advance statement to avoid few questions of intelligent readers of my blog.

For example, as male YOLO believer considering to rape all women he encounters for the sheer few minutes of pleasure would be hazardous,

And most disastrous would be a YODO believer considering to die as a suicide bomber.

As everything has got pros and cons YOLO YODO do have their own, thats what my brains as shortlisted.

My preferences on daily and occasional basis is bit strange.

We all do have strange preferences. Please do list yours in the comment section.

Mine would be that as I  live only once as all of us, why not help the planet in which i live.

Why would have god chosen Earth as the only planet to bestow human existence?

That superior architect entrusted this planet to us, of course not in hope that we would preserve it like he had given to us. That good power might have given this huge ball which we call as Earth to us so that as a child toys his play stuff leading to its destruction (if no elders interfere), we would toy and destroy Earth. That is certain.

I hate people littering around wastes.
I hate to see young girls throw the chocolate covers around and giggle at it.
If anyone want to please me, they must be bit bothered about the environment.
In my home its me who carry the garbage bag on travel.
I insist my family members not to throw away the tissue paper out of the moving or even idle car and then blame India as a dirty country. I wasn't preached by anyone, my moral is just that way, and in this case i am proud of myself.

So I do carry a garbage kit in my bag.
I do carry another to lessen the number of plastic covers heaping in my home. Such that i can shove in the stuff i get from shops to it and "say a no with a thunder smile" to the plastic bag they offer. Oh yes, I mean it when I say thunder smile, its overwhelming to see their reaction, you must try it. You kinda feel special and unique just the way you get when you say no to non-veg food- you can feel special and unique (depending on the community you stand at the moment.)

I might be addicted to that feel and the various reactions of people when i do these simple things just for the planet i live in.

Not having non-veg is a personal decision i made when i became an animal lover, and when i realised that through their eyes i saw an infinite world  or place where that superior architect dwelled (I do eat eggs: they don't have eyes na? :D). The eyes of the small and big animals always convey their helplessness, just as an infant baby or a bed ridden old human. My weakness is this silent communication i have when i meet these three helpless living beings. 
This can be a yolo thing- to do what you think is right, to make  a policy to follow till death gracefully.

With this clutching around me i decided not to use leather products. Even if I want I can not as genuine leather products are costly and i don't buy costly things often. Why to embellish myself with the products that are made with the pain and cry of poor animals? If  my skin is opened and smell my internal organs there will be nasty smell. We all do have, we process excreta, how hard you try to embellish yourself, at the end of the day we are mere living creatures. Should we ignore the other living beings if then?

If i am to tattoo  then it would be "minimum thoughts" and "minimum things".

I possess many things, mostly trivial.
I have one big obsession- pens and stationery products.

My pen collection, this is just 50 of them. There are few more in my heavy pouch.
My thoughts never seize even when i sleep; thus i dream every single day- all fantasy and adventurous dreams.
I try hard to follow "minimum thoughts", i fail always. I can do it to an extent while driving, even then of course our brains have to work bit hard especially when you are on Indian roads.

Minimum things is extra hard. I have taken a new resolution to not buy any more pens until all of my pens expires. Most of the low cost pens i have are plastic-made. I need to cut short the plastics i use. THINK OF THE DEPLETING OZONE LAYER! NO MAN CAN PUT AN ARTIFICIAL ONE UP THERE..lalalala 

I have limited my make up products too, but will get a concealer soon and then will definitely limit.

In the following years i will try my best to have minimum possessions. It would be from handbags, clutches, ornaments, electronics, sandals, watches etc. I am ashamed to say that i have four watches, having so many is not a good thing to me, to have just one is my intention and aim. To cut short your possessions is one difficult thing, but finally to me that's just living up to my motto of life. (Count your possessions). When yolo interferes here, the question arises- "you live only once, then why not live grandly"? I would say sorry, let me side with yodo- i would like to die with less possessions. How nice it would be once your home is with very little possessions? Very neat and less to tidy up. 

To resist extravaganza is important; to teach it to your kids is a necessity.
