I like this simple design because it has two meanings for the price of one. Hopefully, the obvious meaning is that one will work for social change. However, the other meaning, that one will work for a mere pittance, is a backhanded commentary on low wages and the all too common inability to earn a living wage for one’s labors. What may be less obvious, is how I combine these two things in my own life. First, I will gladly work for social change and social justice. Secondly, living my life in a simple fashion, which I typically call living low to the ground, allows me the freedom of working for social change, while minimizing the worries of wage slavery, the difficulty of earning enough money for a decent living. The simple fact is that the less money you spend and the less you consume, the less money you need to live. Friends occasionally ask me, “How’s the button business.” I am likely to respond something like, “it depends on what metric you might measure that by.” The most important metric, the one that I judge my success and my business’ success is “I LOVE MY LIFE!” The rest is details.
