Going without

20161124-going-without

What could you really go without if you had to?

Do you really need…

…another coffee?

…that app?

…to watch another episode?

…another pair of [blank]?

…a second helping?

…all that choice?

…to look at Facebook again?

…another drink?

…the latest gadget?

Those are just the little things.

There are bigger things that can be taken for granted.

Running water.

Power.

Wifi.

Air-conditioning.

Television.

The internet.

Smart phones.

What could you go without?

 

(Inspired by the last week of a working trip to Mozambique, Africa.)

  1. How true! So the take away of this trip for all of us is: You can go without a lot of things and in the meanwhile… go with what you’ve got!!! :))

  2. food for thought …but what could i go without?…not my books or music
    or friends. cheers Horrie
    p s…what are you going without? what do you miss most in another country?

  3. we can live without all of this!!!!. i believe you experience in this beautiful, lovely and sunny country named Mozambique made you realize that suddenly the power can go off for more than 30 minutes (2 or 3 times a day) and you continue breathing and living normally as well as the internet…and so on…..

    The things that we cannot actually live without are the ones that we wrongly take for granted and we don’t appreciate!!!!!!
