Minimalism is not an ideology, theology, mantra, cult, etc. It is a way of being in the world based on a state of mind.
Everyone is a minimalist to the extent that one has needs, habits, and beliefs. The reason minimalism fades is because of the power of "collective wants". We all tend to swap-out our needs for the wants of others. And this is perfectly understandable because we all have a primal urge to belong to something bigger than ourselves. However, to feel like we truly belong to some greater entity than "me" we imitate others. Imitation is claimed to be the greatest form of flattery and perhaps this is true. And yet imitation is an alcove in a life. The alcove is found by those who do not trust themselves to enter and drive on a freeway.
Minimalism is a state of mind that demands you trust yourself. If you trust yourself you will always place your needs above, and beyond, the collective wants of your times. Living as a minimalist you trust yourself to handle the levers of power, wealth, ideology, theology, and virtue. Honesty is not prescribed by minimalism however it is practiced daily by minimal-you.
If you are being honest with yourself then you have uncovered the essence of minimal-you.
