RE: The houses we build

in Self Improvement2 years ago

A book i read: The art of happiness by Dalai Lama. This book places emphasis on fulfilment leading to happiness is quite a hoax and indeed it is true. I beg to challenge that one cannot even build his dream house with an abundance of money. This is so due to the ever-increasing wants of man. Nothing indeed satisfies man and if your happiness rests on achievements, it is quite impossible to reach. It's like the iPhone race. Every year, a newer one comes and if you are bent on getting the latest one, you will never be satisfied.

To me, the most important material in building your house perhaps will be self-contentment. With this, no matter

Sort:  

Dreams always get bigger, don't they? This is the issue ;)
I think man is doomed to live a life of discontentment - even the Dalai Lama has his personal desires.
