Once I came across the following saying; probably anonymous;
"Good life begins, when you stop wanting a better life."
How true it is?
All animals born to this world have basic "needs”; mainly air, water and food.
As human beings in a civilized society our basic needs go beyond these. Clothes, shelter, family, friends, education, are some of them. Vocation or some other mode to obtain the basic “needs” is another necessity.
Then there are "wants".
“Wants” are different from the "needs". Your needs can be kept to a minimum, but there will no limit for "wants". When you get hold of something you want, human greed will make you crave for a better thing. It may be money, power, position or comfort.
If one can keeps his/her “wants” as close as possible to the “needs” , he/she will be a happy and contented person. An average person can easily achieve or obtain the little extra things he/she wants. If you do not want any thing more; no doubt you lead a good life.
What else we need in this short life span?
