Book: goodbye, things by Fumio Sasaki

One more book I read about the minimalist life of the Japanese and instantly I remembered the replica house of the house of the Prophet Muhammad, which was empty and simple. The interesting idea of this book is about how having things takes time and energy to manage, and in the end, things that are meant to make things easier for us, actually control us. Then this has an effect on the unhappiness that all our many possessions bring. We are bored, easily bored, annoyed, piled up, ungrateful, and this is the characteristic of our civilization today. 

Civilization of goods not civilization of ideas. 

These days we are filled with feelings of understanding, collecting shoes from one wardrobe, makeup lined with dozens of types, collections of outfits that can only be worn once, flexing being deified, hundreds of advertisements that we consume every day, and goods have become the only indicator of success in the middle of the world. the middle of society and this is the characteristic of civilization of goods, not civilization of ideas. 

From here I understand more, about advice to make the world only in the hands not in the heart because something that is put into the heart when we have a love for things then there are burdensome consequences and when we only have things in our minds, our obsessions are only things, that's where we become dwarf. However, when our civilization is dominated by ideas, our hearts are filled with our love for knowledge, for vision, it becomes our fault and this is what Rasulullah SAW exemplified. 

In the 6th century, when the kings of Rome and Persia were in luxury, our Apostle slept on a mat. However, his vision and ideas about da'wah and building human civilization made Islam spread to two thirds of the world in just 25 years. Actually there are many hadith editorials about being aware of putting the world in our hearts and this is one of the secrets of the recipe for a happy life.
