Cruel gravity

The thing that is always in our disadvantage is weight.

Because of gravity, weight has an impact and confronts us with consequences.
This is why airplanes are build in a way that they are as light as possible.
Same for cars and trucks.
Because it has been discovered that the lower the weight is, the less fuel is needed.

This rule also applies to the Fuso Szulc.
The more heavy the truck is, the more fuel is needed.
And it doesn't matter whether the fuel is cheap or expensive.
The less fuel needed means the lower the impact on the environment.

Hence, one of the goals with the Fuso Szulc is to keep its weight as low as possible.
Which means that every item on board has to be considered.
Is it really needed?

A good example is the collection of music CD's that were on board.
A large box with hundreds of CD's.
Of considerable weight.
A dear friend in California, USA allowed in a Costco shop the purchase for a very low price of an 80 GB Apple iPod.
Next, all the music of the CD's was put on the iPod.
The box with the hundreds of CD's was given as a present to a fine friend in Mexico.
The Fuso Szulc became many pounds lighter.

The same policy is applied for books in the Fuso Szulc.
There is a supply of books because reading is a daily activity.
These books are purchased in thrift shops in the USA.
Excellent books for 50 cents each.
Protecting the environment by reading books that are second hand.
Next, books that are read, are not kept on board.
They are given away to friends.
Also with this policy keeping the weight of the Fuso Szulc low.

Every item on board is there because it passed the test.
It is absolutely needed.
If not, it goes.

There is another aspect to this way of living.
The attitude to own and carry the least amount of things as is possible.
It makes existence metaphorically more light as well.
It promotes the freedom of mind and heart.
Because weight only pulls down.
We must be stronger than gravity by being lighter.
