I have read each of the comments and I have been very moved by them. Awaking feelings, sincerity, and especially reflection in your readers is the best way to see the role you are playing on this platform. I identify with many of the comments: as a child, I never felt unhappy for not having the best things, and that made me appreciate everything I have in my adulthood and, secondly, not desire more than what I can have. I try to lead a quiet, simple life, without much embellishment: a life to my measure. Because everyone lives their own life and puts it on themselves. I send you a hug of gratitude, friend.🫂

Thank you Nancy! Every now and then I'm reminded why I love this platform so much and the comments on this post are one of those instances. It seems like quite a few people from our generation (X) grew up in similar ways, doesn't it? It seems like the appearance of abundance we have now with many people (especially in the US) is a fairly recent construct. I see school age children now with iPhones and designer clothes we'd never dream of being able to have when we were their age. It all comes so easily to them many of them take it all for granted. The simple life is the best life, my friend! I'd be perfectly satisfied spending my extra income on traveling instead of buying "things". I wish you a wonderful week!
