Would it be better to be financially rich and unhappy or have just enough to survive and be happy?
The only thing that truly matters is being of sound mind with good health, everything else is secondary.
If you are super wealthy and are living in a mansion, material wealth is meaningless if your body is failing you or your mind is in turmoil.
You could have millions, even billions, but if you wake up every day in pain, both physically and with mental strife, how much would that fortune truly be worth?
The weight of suffering can strip even the grandest life of its joy, making luxury feel like a prison. Yet, in good health, with a clear mind, even the simplest life can feel abundant.
Peace of mind, the ability to move freely, to think clearly, to experience the world without the constant burdens of time poverty, financial encumbrance and luxury fatigue, these are the real riches.
Don’t contrive, just be.
