A lovely video interview with South African Theo du Plessis, by Green Renaissance filmmakers, via Gratefulness.org – from the transcript:

• "Minimalism is is just a long word for nothing."
• "I believe in a force called Goodness. I believe in an energy called Love."
• "We don't realize how many good people there are in the world. Most people keep their help silent. It doesn't mean it's not there."
• "The force of Good, of Light, is much stronger than the force of Darkness."
• "Dr Seuss said, 'Always say what you mean, and mean what you say, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind!' ..."
• "The most important question I ask myself, ... over and over every day: Is it real? Is it real?"
• "I think it was Mother Teresa's business card that said, 'The fruit of Love is Hope. The fruit of Hope is Service. The fruit of Service is Love.' It's a cycle. One leads to the other. So my advice ... is to jump in anywhere."

... and comments about possessions and animals and poverty and choice and goodness ...
