This is just some of the driving force behind my own 7 Experiment. I have not researched the above quote from her book, but I am sure that is true for most Americans.
How do I keep on spending money on clothes knowing this? How do I not see the eyes of desperate mothers? The empty bellies of starving children?
They haunt me when I think selfish thoughts like, "Oh, that's so cute. You really deserve a new shirt." I deserve it? People deserve food. I do not deserve enough shirts to clothe an army.
I got rid of half of my clothes. Big deal. I could go out and buy clothes to replace those anytime I feel like it. Ugh. Have I accomplished anything?
To battle this, I have set a governor, of sorts, for myself. I got rid of all of my extra hangers. And I will not be bringing new ones to my house. When I buy any new clothes item, I have to give one away in it's place.
I am hoping this will work for me, because I really like all the clothes I have left. Even the ones with holes in them.
