Be thankful for what you have; No man is rich who shakes and groans convinced that he needs more; no man is completely happy that something somewhere does not clash with his condition. Remember too that all the most happy men are oversensitive. They have never experienced adversity and so unless everything obeys their slightest whim they are prostrated by every minor upset. So nothing is miserable except when you think it so and vice versa. All luck is good luck to the man who bears it with equanimity. The more varied your possessions, the more help you need to protect them, and the old saying is proved correct 'he who hath much wants much'. Decide to lead a life of pleasure and there will be none who will not reject you as the scorn of the slave of that most worthless and brittle master: the human body.
