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.
