Answer 1

I can not improve my life materialistically. Nor do I have any problems and if I did they would not be solved materialistically.

Ownership is an illusion. We can not own anything but our own thoughts. In reality all things can be taken from us, not just physically taken from us, but in other ways too, in divorce, illness, death etc. It is always the desire for something not it's attainment that brings most pleasure.

Acceptance that happiness is momentary for all of us and that Joy and happiness are things that are in ourselves, in our own heads and bodies makes problems disappear/appear so much less, it makes materialistic 'wants' disappear. We still may experience problems but it is how we 'see' those problems that largely determines how big those problems are.

The less I own in material goods, the happier I am. The simpler I make my life, the happier I am. Simple pleasures have so much more enjoyment for me than ever before in my life; wandering around the farm looking at plants, lighting the fire and settling down with a good book, a pot of tea and a chat with a friend, laughing with my children. Never before in my life have everyday things looked so beautiful, the sky, the autumn leaves floating down from the trees, the pheasant following the cat into our kitchen.

You can not improve your life materialistically in my opinion for ownership is an illusion.

I think my life would be a lot easier if everyone just cared about the environment and their fellow man just a little bit more.

If only people just cared more, the world would be a better place, don't you agree?
