The Question Ix

The question is not how many things we need in life to live
 
But

How many things are there that we are willing to live without?

Tom Cunningham Date: 2/27/2023 5:33:00 AM I blame modern living and the media promoting things like you must have this, you must have that. In reality we only need the basics to survive, food and shelter are really the only things you need, sad though that some in our world do not even have these.

Thank you for your analytic comment. Be blessed!
