I agree. But I have lived a happier life when we were poorer than what we are now. Just saying. Of course, it depends on what we are looking for in life. We have people in my family who have net worth of 100 crores but still are living a miserable life...he thinks God has been unfair to him, everyone is good except himself , envies everyone . I pity him and whom am I to say that someone's suffering is lesser than someone who is starving? Suffering is very relative. I met a person whose child is all deformed from face to legs , but yet have seen an unconditional happiness in the mother. Personally she has suffered tons...but she feels her life is more fulfilled than ever.
