Ever since I was a kid, I had very little cravings for material things. When the toys I pointed out to yielded the response "That's too expensive; we can't afford", that was the end of it. No wailing, no insisting. That item was officially off my (already very short) list.
Thinking back, I guess I was trying to be a good kid and a good Buddhist.
Recently, when I related this story to someone, she exclaimed "Then you would have no goal to dream of, nothing to work towards ..."
I felt a million watts go through my body. The realisation ... is not too late, I hope.
