An ode to minimalism

Ever since I got introduced to the idea of minimalism , my perspective on life has changed. That's why the lyrics of the song, Every Little Thing by Peter Doran resonated with me completely. Here're the song's video and lyrics . Hope it resonates with you as well.
Every little thing, you think that you need
Every little thing, you think that you need
Every little thing that’s just feeding your greed
Oh, I bet that you’d be fine without it
Every little thing that you’ve gotta have
Every little thing that you’ve gotta have
That you’ve got to reach for and you’ve got to grab
Oh, I bet that you’d be fine without it
So tear your eyes away, oh tear your eyes away
Every little thing that sparkles and shines
Every little thing that sparkles and shines
It’s driving you sweetly out of your mind
But I bet that you’d be fine without it
So tear your eyes away, oh tear your eyes away
Every little thing that you’re lusting for
Every little thing that you’re lusting for
How did you ever get along before
Oh, I bet that you were fine without it
So tear your eyes away, oh tear your eyes away
Before you’re tripping over junk that’s lying scattered on your floor
The dusty and discarded toys that don’t shine any more
Every one you had to have, every one you swore
Would satisfy your greedy heart for now and evermore
Every little thing that catches your eye
Every little thing that catches your eye
Gets under your skin and it won’t be denied
Oh, I bet that you’d be fine without it
Oh, I bet that you’d be fine without it
