Reminds me of this quote
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Remember when envy was a deadly sin, and not the basis for a political party?
it may be due to such situations it was defined as such
You only own what you can defend.
To become free of your own desires, or at the very least, no longer enslaved by them. To become content. That is indeed the real wealth. That and good health. Priceless.
That makes me the richest man in the world!
My life would be near-perfect, if I could get rid of my pothead housemates
No I actually think the richest man alive is one of those Saudi princes or Jeff bezos. They can have your whole family killed if they want. You offer somebody a billion dollars, obviously you don’t have to start that high but you can pretty much enslave them
