Material Possession - 物欲

There must be more in life than having it all. --Maurice Sendak

Human nature--satisfaction from any purchase is always short-lived, if experienced at all. So we yearn for more. Enough is never enough.

In our quest to have it all, we end up experiencing less peace, happiness, and satisfaction than we would if we learned how to be satisfied with much less.

We are not going to be the richest people in the cemetery. We are, however, very rich. We have time--I call it the most expensive commodity of them all.
