Open source living (v.)
The practice of living life in a manner that is
entirely public and open to scrutiny by one's peers. An open source lifestyle
requires that one should maintain a certain clarify of purpose and not become
overly contaminated by petty concerns such as money, job, possessions, etc. in
order that one's inner purity may be maintained, thus heightening the enjoyment
of the simple things in life: food, water, flowers, and so
on.
Not to be confused with—although may be
practised alongside—‘open plan living’, ‘open all
hours’ or ‘open the f***ing door before I smash your lights
out!’ The latter is not of course in keeping with the general spirit of
open source living, although it does conform to one of its central tenets, which
is extreme honesty and lack of concealment of one's innermost feelings and
motivations.
