7 Reasons Why Minimalism Is Not for Egyptians
Most of us Egyptians are fond of holding onto things that are absolutely useless, which brings us to my next point: Egyptians can never be minimalists. Here’s why:
Old and damaged childhood toys
Some parents like to keep their kids’ old toys. Actually scratch that, ALL PARENTS. From old Legos that you will never use, to decapitated Fulla, these toys are everywhere.
Misleading box of cookies
I bet we all agree that we craved cookies one day, and found this deceptive box of cookies, only to be let down because the box was being used to store needles and threads.
Endless amount of old clothes somewhere in the closet (or on top of it)
Why get rid old clothes when you can keep them for the five next generations to come?
One word: Newspapers
Who needs table cloths when you have garayed? Exactly!
El-neesh is your secret to a happy marriage, and a crowded living room
Our beloved neesh (hutch) that contains a million sets of china that nobody ever uses…
Over-sized dining tables recreating da Vinci’s Last Supper
A big impressive abandoned sufra (dining table) that takes enormous space, whereas everyone actually eats in the living room in front of the TV.
Old books and the fridge’s instructions booklet
We Egyptians don’t read that much, but we do have a lot of old school books, magazines, and manuals somewhere around the place.
WE SAID THIS: Do you think it’s possible for Egyptians to be a minimalists? We think not!
