I'm hallucinating that most people care about having a lot of money. But without the art of appreciation, it's just dirty paper (Maybe that next thing you buy will be the "one"???). (And of course I understand that appreciation is only possible in a universe of contrast.) It's not really about the money, its about the creating.

Then "they" say what about hunger and thirst? And I say you can always choose your response to an arisen circumstance (I say 'arisen' because circumstances have a tendency to arise and then to fall -- that is their tendency but if you give them your focus you keep them in place). Circumstances do not determine your response to them. (Everything would simply rise and fall like ocean waves, if it were not for focusing).

Nothing in life, in this existence, is meant to endure. All passes away, making way for birth (except the peace of The Ultimate Reality and what is this peace of The Ultimate Reality? That is for you to know, through an experience, not a concept -- concepts have a way of being mistaken for the real thing.)
