¨Happy people are not people who have more; rather, they are happy with what they already have.¨
Daniel Levitin in The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in an Age of Information Overload
Agree? Disagree? Certainly in the case of physical possessions I agree whole-heartedly, as well as the sense of not envying others their skills and abilities. But there is something that makes us strive for more - to seek out a challenge. I suppose it is possible to be of two minds - to be happy with what you have, as well as wanting more (without necessarily thinking that more will complete you).
