The most blessed people.

I hardly ever wish for a better life. Because I have a good life now. Maybe that makes me less than ambitious. To live as a true capitalist, one must always want more. To accumulate monetary wealth, at the very least. Because that buys one pleasure. Satisfaction. Fulfillment. But I get my fulfillment in other ways. Being satisfied with what I’ve got.  For instance, I have an Italian true love. The second true love of my life. Therefore, I have been blessed with two true loves in my lifetime. Amazing.  I know some very obscenely rich people that never experienced true love. Real love.  Other than of money. Which is all right. If that makes ‘em happy. Whatever it takes. But I also know of some very, very happy people who more or less live hand to mouth. They don’t have much in material possessions. But they have true love of another human being. Seems to me they are the most blessed people.   –Jim Broede
