Less is More

Our consumption patterns directly connects with who we are and how we have a character. What is success? Is it earning a lot of money or having a big house or having an expensive car or gaining reputation? Do you think a life which have an aim and meaning is something like that? Most of people surmise that they can satisfy their desire with money. Whereas everyone who win lottery is unhappy in the long run because who we are do not relate to what we have, it relates to what we do. As Plato said “ What is important is not having many things, what is important needing little things.” We must abstain ourselves from valuing matter. We must value improving our character and our emotions.
