the sheer joy of life. Although it does seem to ignore issues of disease, slave labor, and disempowerment … it is true, that when you have nothing, you will always have your family and friends … and aren’t they the most important things in life?
wisdom … is not to be found in things … but in experienced learning. And no-where is this type of ‘hard learning’ more evident than when you are at the bottom of the economic chain.
such are the fortunes and vissitudes of man’s station.
peace.

Hmm..contentment is really the key. I have seen it and is seeing in my parents lives…whereas its becoming rarer by the day.

Hi, the video isn’t working but I get the point without it. The truly happy have everything they need. It doesn’t matter if they’re living under an overpass. Maybe they know Who they are and indeed that can truly make a man or woman happy. If you have everything you need, what is there to want? If there is no want of money there is not much of a drive to get it.

Hi i have been broke all of my life, i shop in thrift store’s for clothes and live in a rented house, i dont worry about the mortgage or the payments on the new car. But you ask “am i really happy?”
Absolutely ? I feel sorry for those who have to worry about paying for the car the house at the beach etc..
