Natara/TwistedCat/AyamanataraQualities of life, emotions, feelings, and the like can all be created without the assistance of things. Make a decision to be happy, to experience joy, to be pleased, to love. Create those qualities for yourself. You may find that, the more you do this, the more of those things that you thought would bring you those qualities suddenly appear in your life. Or not. Either way, you will have what it is you truly wanted to begin with.
NataraOne of the problems with living in a world of consumerism is that we are programmed to think that we want stuff. The messages we are inundated with are messages of lack – “you aren’t happy because you don’t have this blender/car/bottle of alcohol/vacation/pair of jeans!” So we think we actually do want or even need all this stuff. It gets hard to differentiate what you really do want from what you’re being programmed to want.
