Event details:
“Striving for more distracts you (1) until you go into the graves (2). No indeed! You will come to know (3) No indeed! in the end you will come to know (4). No indeed! If only you knew for certain (5). You will most definitely see hellfire (6), you will see it with the eye of certainty (7). On that Day, you will be asked about your pleasures (8).”
Holy Quran, Surat 102: Al Takathur (Striving for More)
While most of people work hard to accumulate wealth and possessions, Heidemarie Schwermer (http://projekte.free.de/gibundnimm - in German. Translted to English) has lived without money and only what fits in a suitcase for 15 years. She owned a house and held a steady job, then decided to give up all her possessions and live a life less ordinary. She spends most of her time travelling and sharing her experience and belief that the way the world works is not right and that we can live without money.
While it seems idealistic, Heidemarie’s message is, without doubt, provocative and inspiring. Her work forces us to reconsider our relationship with money and worldly possessions.
