'voluntary simplicity'--passing a world of fulfilling possibilities on to our children

' ''voluntary simplicity'' costs far less than a life pursuing material goods; it is more satisfying because the enjoyment is real in the way that lives are real. it is a vision that we can realistically offer our children and grandchildren. a sense of knowing that we are passing a world of fulfilling possibilities on to our children would be priceless in and of itself.'
