I like this statement by Greek philosopher Epicurus (IV century B.C.): "Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little". It seems totally suitable for today's life, where you are pushed from all sides to believe that what you have (or what you are) is never sufficient to make you an acceptable human being. You "need" to have a certain look, purchase specific products. In a nutshell, you always have to change or add something to your present way of being. Why? Because "they" want you to buy something. How do they do it? By convincing you that - by doing what they suggest - you can prove your worth. Who are "they"? All those who constitute the "selling" machine that is presently leading the world in the direction they want.
