Reasons to Love* Rexburg #2


The University Bookstore has lots of cute signs like this one, all with happy, bubbly, idealistic thoughts: "Always Kiss Me Goodnight", "All Because Two People Fell In Love", etc. You know the types.

And don't get me wrong, these are good things. It's good to remind ourselves of the goals and philosophies we want to incorporate into our lives.

But I have to draw the line with this one. "Live Simply", cut out of sheet metal, with a star and twine for decoration. Yours to display in your own home for only $20.

Um... wait.

$20 for a sign that reminds me to "Live Simply"? Isn't buying the sign a violation of the very lifestyle it encourages? If you're so in love with the concept of Living Simply that you want to buy a sign to remind you to do it, then I think you may have missed the boat.
