First, about minimalist life.
Minimalists don't want to throw everything away, but try to reduce useless things. The author believes that minimalists are people who really understand their own needs. They don't pursue "material desires" because they care about other people's eyes. They know what is really "necessary". Minimalists will reduce the number of things around them because they value what is really important in life.
The comparison between minimalists is meaningless. The word "minimalism" is not an end in itself "Minimalism" is an attitude and an idea, the purpose of which is to help you quickly find what you should cherish.
Second, the factors that hinder us from achieving a minimalist life.
On the one hand, it is our current social environment. Mankind is in the era of information explosion, and a lot of information is "junk information" every day. Experiments show that if you are too greedy for junk information, your IQ will drop, even like smoking marijuana. At the same time, over-reliance on social networking has also caused considerable problems to human life. No matter where you are, others can contact you. This kind of life makes people nervous. Giving up is a skill. You should learn by doing. Don't wait, just spit it out first. It is not after you settle down that you can start to give up, but after you give up, you can settle down. If you wait to "throw it away when you have time", "that day" will never come.
