It is the opposite of having something, but it is up to the person to decide what to do about it.

For example, I do without many things in my life:  wife, kids, car, money, religion, social life, house, and many material things.

I do without a lot of harmful behaviours.

I do without a lot of hurry and worry.

I live a simple life that developed out of a desire to be a whole person.

Yet, that doesn’t mean I want to do without any of these people, places or things.

I do believe it is best for me to do with less rather than more.

I don’t claim to have much of an answer about living in the material world.

I strongly believe in simplicity, compassion and patience.
