RE: Poor and happy? that is the question

in #blog7 years ago

Inner peace is not dependent on abundance or lack. It's dependent on the perception and reaction of the individual to the abundance or lack. I've seen unhappy and unpeaceful rich people and vice versa. Someone can still be joyful and peaceful regardless of the person's poor state.

Sort:  

How can a poverty stricken person have inner peace when he is worried about what to eat and not to die of starvation... I still don't think poor people are happy.. Are you saying those beggars on the street are happy with the way they are?? Or they just accepted their fate...

I can see wisdom in this. Indeed, it is not until you have money that you can be happy. I have swwn poor people who eat garri with happiness, and rich people who eat fried rice angrily.
