[Koshkin]

The real minimalism in life, in my opinion, includes never worrying too much about stuff, maintaining some sort of separation between oneself and things, ignoring, to some degree, things themselves as well as whether they are indeed satisfy the minimalist criteria or not. Thus, true minimalism would even deny any substantial significance to the idea of minimalism itself. Animals are like this - they could be seen as minimalist while they obviously don't think much about it.
