If life needs sustenance and a temperate climateis want everything else?

Is attachment suffering?


 


Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill


keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt


chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench


care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner


 


Tao Te Ching


Do you already have everything you want if you think so?


 


If non-material want can provide a high quality of life


while material want doesn’t necessarily create happiness


is it better to be miserable with a high standard of living


than unhappy and poor?


 


People who have what they want


are fond of telling people who haven't what they want


that they really don't want it


 


Ogden Nash


American poet
