Basic need

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

“If one’s life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements. And finally, there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.”

~Dalai Lama quotes

    It’s basically KISS applied to life, therefore I strongly agree :) !

    (KISS = “Keep It Simple, Stupid !”)

    I like this one. Yeah, I agree. One should acknowledge the simple things provided for in life. Contentment is so hard for some… ;-)
