Hello, friends, it's I, Copius Maximus Decimus Meridius.
The message I bring you today is this: It is impossible that happiness, and yearning for what is not present, should ever be united. If you are not happy with everything you have you won't be happy with everything you lack either.
That is not to say you shouldn't try to better yourself or improve your circumstances, but while you do so try to be grateful, because there are many people whose dream is to be where YOU are today.
Not needing a treasure is the greatest treasure. Many will call you a fool for being content with a simple life, for riding a bike instead of owning a car, for wearing unexpensive clothes instead of spending 400 dollars on shoes. For most people, you should be constantly struggling to get things you don't have, and once you have them, you should form even grander desires. But let me ask you this: who is the real fool? A man who is content with little or a man who lives in a perpetual state of self induced dissatisfaction?
