Warmth isn't what minimalists are thought to have.

Summary

This quote suggests that minimalists are commonly seen as lacking warmth or emotion in their lifestyle choices. While minimalism often focuses on decluttering and simplifying one's possessions and spaces, it does not mean that minimalists lack warmth as individuals. It implies that people assume minimalists prioritize functionality over creating a cozy or inviting atmosphere. However, this quote challenges that perception and implies that minimalists can still have warmth and emotional depth in their lives, despite their preference for simplicity and minimal possessions.
