Once I came across a statement some where; must be anonymous;
which says;

"Good life begins, when you stop wanting a better life."

How true it is?

As creatures born to this world there are basic "needs", such as air, water, foods. Next comes the other needs for civilized human beings. Clothes, shelter, family, friends, education, vocation to live are some of them.

Other type is the "wants". “Wants” are different from the "needs". Your needs can be kept to a minimum, but there will not be an end to the "wants". When you get hold of of something you want, human greediness will make you crave for a better thing. This may be money, power, comfort or position.

If one can keeps his/her “wants” as close as possible to the “needs” , he/she will be a happy and contented person. He/she leads a good life.
