We all know the saying, which I put in the subject. Most of us, rich people can only see on television, newspapers or the Internet, and therefore we tend not to remember that the same people as us. They are no happier than us, and certainly not because of his wealth.
often causes problems even wealth. They begin to think about what they can lose, and thus only one step to the paranoia. Therefore the best way great thinkers do not become too attached to objects. only wealth, which is extremely difficult to deprive us of our survival - the elements that make life so hard to describe in words, because the other for everyone. Experiences but should not be collecting on the force. It is not about to experience subjectively the best parts, like a vacation in Hawaii, earning a Mount Everest or winning the Olympic gold medal. The aim should be the best experience of all the crumbs of life, the more of them that our lives fuller.
world today and its capitalist "religion" they feed us the image of happiness, however, passionately connected to the possession of certain items. What could be better than having a big house, new car, television? Having better items than friends - meet the media. For this noise from time to time, however, scrolls strange phenomenon. This may Bill Gates dealer will be millions or monks who belong to religious orders straight from the skyscrapers of big business.
final proof for the argument that money is not needed for happiness is an Austrian millionaire Rebeder Karl, whose history can be read here . Shortening, at age 47, he gave away his fortune (about 2.7 million pounds) to charity, sold the villa in the Alps and lived in an apartment living for 800 pounds a month. As if that was not enough even brazenly states that it is now much happier than the leading a thriving business, generating more and more profits.
Why am quoting this story? I am not yet fully aware of the minimalist and still have to remember that most items are unnecessary. If it was not intrusive advertising on many of them I'd never heard and did not notice their absence, and yes, sometimes it seems to me that I was their lack of happiness. I'd like to achieve such a state as the Austrian said. Maybe not yet today, because now I have to give away only a few tens of thousands of debt for the studio apartment and a few books about which I wrote in the previous post . Day after day, however, becoming easier to me to resist zewowi consumption, and these stories that I quoted in this post make me firmly believe that, properly understood minimalism is the only way of life in which I can live a happy life . To be minimalistką money and are not needed, therefore, of necessity, can not give happiness. That way we came back to Proverbs, the wisdom of which only remains for us to use. It is better after all to find meaning in the age of 30 than to wait up to 47 years of age.
