Well, society dictates the first years of our lives and sometimes people get stuck in biases and patterns established by others, forgetting about the most important things in life: being happy. When I was in India, I realized how many things we do not need. As you said, the less you own, more happier you will get. Very inspirational post!
I felt the same when I first visited Sri Lanka. I could not believe the conditions some people lived! Thanks for reading and commenting.
