It is my fundamental belief that all human beings share the same basic aspirations: that we all want hapiness and that we all share suffering.

If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.
