Wonderings 20

 Simplicity is the key to happiness...

True___  False___

What is happiness?

• Money
• Success
• Knowledge
• Power
• Faith
• Good Health
• Home Ownership
• Marriage
• Children
• Friends
• Assets
• Relatives

Success means something different to each person as does the meaning of SIMPLICITY.

Do the words SUCCESS and SIMPLICITY change in their meaning depending upon one's age?

Perhaps...

But,

here is an interesting thought to ponder...

• Wise people are always portrayed as being poor
• Jesus was portrayed as being poor
• Monks are portrayed as being poor

So,

Does that mean poverty is the solution for SUCCESS and SIMPLICITY?

However...

The POPE, who is the leader of the Catholic Church, and considered to be the WIZE SAGE OF FAITH...

Yet,

The Catholic Church is estimated to own $265 Billion in assets...  which is far from being portrayed as poor.

Would one think that the POPE considers himself to be successful?

While at the same time, we know the POPE is not leading a life of simplicity.

And,

is certainly not emulating the life of JESUS...
