Limitless achievements? If everybody or even just a large minority always wants more and more and more... then we will never have a peaceful world where everybody is happy. Never. Jamais. Nooit.

Why can't you be happy with a full fridge? Why do you always want more? For what purpose?

Why not enjoying the simple things, like e.g. being at home while it's raining outside, but you're sitting dry, warm and can have a nice dinner with a good beer/wine, because your fridge is filled and you have some bottles in your cellar. Add to that a book to read or a movie to watch after dinner.

Perfect.

Learn to be satisfied and there's no need for "more" or "limitless achievements".








They perfectly understand what I'm saying If only the rest of humanity would follow.
I could live with that except...

well, I need a house to put around my fridge. And then of course I have to have electricity to run the fridge, and I need a car to run to the store to FILL UP my fridge, and then I want some friends over to enjoy my fridge with me...

And all that takes $$$, which I have to WORK for...

And besides all that, I like to do stuff besides eat and I hafta pay for THAT...

So Andres, I wouldn't disagree with you! Full fridge is nice. But I hafta pay for that stuff, and there are a few movements out there that display tendencies to impair my ability to do so.
