Some of the best times I have had have been when I had nothing, or at least very little. As Omar Khayyam wrote 'A loaf of bread, a glass of wine and thee'. Is the problem caused by a lack of something, or rather is it that people like their dissatisfactions, and would not be happy if they did not have something to bleat about. Thus you are in complaining about this or that reason why you are not pursuing an authentic life, living your own authentic existence.

(see post above I am just repeating things today.)
