Great post, I really enjoyed hearing your take on it. Reminds me of Ram Dass teachings, and his book Be Here Now. Be Grateful for ever waking moment is the objective. Unlike societal norms, which has us comparing our lives to others non-stop, like we have to live up to others ideas of who we should be. Mostly from the consumerism mindset that we need to acquire more property to be successful, this is a terrible myth. Property is not wealth, freedom is wealth, freedom do to with your time want you want, outside of meeting your basic needs of course.
