Why do you need what you need ?
This weeks KISS Prompt has this topic, on which I never discussed on this chain and I think, it's going to be fun to open up this topic for discussion. All the wallets that you see on this picture are ladies wallet, they all have aesthetically fascinating look, will you pick one or more ?
The fundamental principle of minimalism is to be happy with the least, to have only that much which is necessary - more brings you more trouble. The same holds good when it comes to our sexual life - if your desire is fulfilled with one life partner, then you should restrict your thirst for more, otherwise you cease to be the most intelligent creature of this universe.
बलं बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम् |
धर्माविरुद्धो भूतेषु कामोऽस्मि भरतर्षभ || 11||
As told in Bhagavad Gita - Chapter 7 Text 11 desire should be devoid of passion and attachment. Marriage is the most auspicious contract between a husband and wife, the purpose of which is to raise a family, and then be dutiful, fulfilling your responsibilities, upbringing kids with high moral value and assist each other in this journey of ascension to the Supreme Consciousness. If our sensory pleasure is fulfilled with our life partner, then we should restrict our craving with that one choice, and focus on our duty, otherwise, it will be considered as an animalistic behavior and we will have to pay a hefty price for that.
Unfortunately many people don't realize about the future consequences of having multiple partners, ending up with a broken family. They give more priority to momentary pleasure and that provokes the thirst for more. And the worst part of this is that their children bear the brunt, either immediately or in a longer run. Sensory pleasures are temporary and within the institution of marriage, precedence must be given to the ethical purpose of our life - our sexual activity must be controlled, virtuous, and well-intended - we realize the value of that only during later part of life. So unless we foresee and act judiciously, we will have a pathetic end.
Do you like a happy ending or pathetic ending ? I would love to hear your opinions on this topic.

I and my wife are both on our second marriage, hopefully this one will last. We both went for ten years in our first marriages and neither fell apart because of sexual desires for others or infidelity. Sometimes in young age we just pick wrong partners and then no matter how hard or long we try to make it work it is actually impossible...
Yes, I can understand, marriage can fail for several other reasons, and it seems, you have good control over your desires.
sorry to hear that. i wish you good luck for this one.
I agree with you. It's one of my principles being a married man, and even without a child, I wanted to be loyal to my wife.
That's lovely to hear, hope you will have a child soon.
This is why it is good and advisable to get married to someone who is willing to support and can practice minimalism. This will help to save and the both parents will be able to carry out successfully their financial duties in the lives of their children and the home
I guess this is a bit related to this topic...For a while I wanted to have threesome with two hot girls. But now I think I could be happy with just one.Those desires are temporary and we should control them by our wisdom. Imagine, just then you hear a great loss in your family, that desire will be nowhere near you. We do have a greater purpose to fulfill..
There's so much wisdom in the Gita! I think we do have to recognize the difference between animal desires and base cravings of lust and desires that fulfil a higher purpose.
I totally agree with the idea that excess, whether it’s material or emotional....can lead to unnecessary complications in life. Simplicity often brings peace.
That said, I think the topic of need vs. desire is incredibly personal. While some people find deep fulfillment in a single life partner, others might genuinely need different experiences or connections to understand themselves and grow. As long as it’s approached with honesty, consent, and responsibility, I wouldn’t call that inherently “animalistic.” But I do agree that chasing constant sensory gratification without any awareness of long-term consequences can easily lead to destruction....not just for the individual but for those around them too. It's actually nice reading, thanks for sharing and have an amazing week ahead 🤗
Yes.. more control is all good. 😉👊 I consider myself a minimalism. I have a wallet, but found that using it is not really needed at all. Instead, I just use a little bag pouch/phone holster from maxpedition that I wear on my belt. how about u? do u use a wallet?
I do use a wallet, it's a must, men always can manage with small things :)
:) ye. I guess my little belt pouch IS my wallet.
If you can't control yourself or have judgment or be loyal to your wife, family will break apart and you will have a pathetic happy ending
Marriage can end, but not with a betray for more women thirst
Exactly to the point...
What you desire shapes what you become, choose wisely, for not everything you want is truly what you need.
The priority should always be the person we have at our side. Sometimes we get confused, but the important thing is to know how to please, and in my case, attention to my husband is essential.
The choice of a partner should be based on multiple factors that are in themselves a set, that is to say, for me, knowing how to complement each other to be happy and not having to look for another partner while already in a stable relationship.
It's exactly like that. Our religion allows us to have four marriages, but the men here also try to do the same thing: if a woman is having a good time with them, then they should spend their time with her and raise their children well.
That is very true, my friend. We must always respect our spouse and therefore marriage, and I have no doubt about that. Furthermore, it is the person we choose ourselves to be our life partner.
Hmm 🤔. I agree with you sir, more brings more trouble.
Focusing on what makes us happy at the moment will only cost us more later on. Doing away with these things will only make our lives easier.
!PIMP
Being a minimalist before the marriage is very important. This will help each party save up to be able to be financially buoyant to train the children
And this trait needs to be passed onto the kids as well
I love your approach to marriage in line with minimalism, unfortunately, most people think it's a flex to have more than one partner, how then do they share their best life if they are divided in different places
I don't know but I personally did not like multiple partners. I believe been loyal to only one wife and my family
high desires and expectations can kill your relationship.

Yes....but it should also be an informed one. That is how we can develop the culture of minimalism at least in the family. Most of the time if we enforce of minimalism against the inherent traits of others in the family it will only result in maximalism in some way. That will act like a pressure cooker.
So what we need is authentic minimalism where the people have an idea of the know-why and know-how of minimalism, which involves deeper deliberations on the same on various aspects. So, a healthy discourse on minimalism should be debated to arouse the dormant conscience of individuals.
When it comes to sexual and sensual pleasure, it should be informed by the basic tenets of sanatan- धर्म, अर्थ, काम, मोक्ष -- धर्म सम्मत काम, धर्म सम्मत अर्थ-- leads to flourishing life.
धर्म सम्मत काम = maintaining virginity, having sex only with the life-partner, no illicit relationship or no extra-marital affair.
धर्म सम्मत अर्थ= only ethical earnings shall enter my home- swastik symbolizes that.
Even if does not we should still stick to the same partner, and should try to find and explore the options from the same.
विवाह पाणिग्रहण= promise for lifetime, it's not a mere social contract.
Marriage in our culture is not a social contract between two opposite sexes; rather, it is an institution for generations. Even the DNA has memory, so the values that is inculcated through this institutions lasts longer and for generations, that is why marriage is sacrosanct, it's different thing that marrigaes are falling these days, but that is mainly due to our lack our awareness and understanding of धर्म (here धर्म does not imply religion, it has a wider connotation).
Thank you.

It all depends on us that how we control our desires. We all love happy ending.
Correct, everything should be controlled. Even if you're married couple, there's also a limit with sexual activities.
