Of happyness 2

But at the same time, you have very poor kids that are so truly happy. How can this be? How can someone be happy without a new gadget, mobile, car? It is impossible, many people will say, you can't be happy without money!

Yet millions of kids are. They get a toy only for a birthday or for Christmas, but they are happy. They don't wear branded clothes or snickers, actually, most of them have no shoes at all, they don't have watches, smartphones, consoles, computers, no TV, streaming services, no bottled water from the south pole, no fancy food. They are happy if the water is not too smelly or too dirty/polluted; if they have three meals a day (no snacks or sweets whatsoever). And still, unbelievably, they are so happy.

And they are not on drugs, they don't have masseurs, personal coaches, psychotherapists, or similar. They have to work long and hard. And they are happy! They don't have money, don't have a future, nothing. And still, they are happy. This is a grand but simple mystery - if you are not happy from inside of you, no wealth can make you happy. No matter that you have sex every day with a different person, a fact that you have to search for a different partner every day says how unhappy you are. As saying goes: "No matter if you have twenty cars, you can only drive one at the time." A fact that you have to have twenty cars shows that you are not happy, as your craving is not satisfied. You have so many people that have only one car and old one, but they are so happy and love that one car above all.
